Glynis Smy - Author of Historical Romance/Suspense: New Blog and Celebration

New Blog and Celebration

I have decided to set up a Nissi Peters blog and keep this one as my Adult Fiction writing space. This way those who like Chewy can pop in now and then to follow his progress. Salli Joel, Kitty Harper and all the other characters from Ripper, My Love and Ripped Genes will stay here, free from kiddy noises.

Now the celebration. Did you notice I hit 200 followers today? Well I decided that to mark the occasion I would give away a copy of my second poetry book; STICKY SANDWICHES.

A follower of the blog will be selected at random from the list (by DH) and the winner will be listed in a few days.
I have shared one poem on Chewy's blog. I thought it was ideal to display on a blog geared up for children.

Ripper, My Love >The Blurb

Growing up in late nineteenth century East London, Kitty Harper’s life is filled with danger and death – from her mother, her beloved neighbour and the working women of the streets. With her ever-watchful father and living surrogate family though, Kitty feels protected from harm. In fact, she feels so safe that while Whitechapel cowers under the cloud of a fearsome murderer, she strikes out on her own, moving into new premises to accommodate her sewing business.

But danger is closer than she thinks. In truth, it has burrowed itself right into her heart in the form of a handsome yet troubled bachelor, threatening everything she holds dear. Will Kitty fall prey to lust – and death – herself, or can she find the strength inside to fight for her business, sanity and her future? And who is the man terrifying the streets of East London?

Second Completed Novel Due out Dec 2012

Maggie's Child > The Blurb

When farmer’s wife Maggie Sawbury gives birth to her fifth child, the only one that has lived, she is overwhelmed. So overwhelmed she leaves it on the roadside to be found by passers-by. The baby is a result of an extra marital affair and her life is not one she wants her child to endure.

Her bully of a husband finds her a new job as a wet nurse and from that moment her life changes. Secret builds upon secret. A serious beating from her husband brings with it new challenges and heartbreak. When love and the possibility of incest threatens to open old wounds Maggie has a dilemma to solve. If she tells all she knows it will bring about the destruction of the bond between her and the child she has helped to bring up. Is she strong enough to live with the risk or does Maggie walk away from a secret past and the farm she loves? The end result brings with it a secret even Maggie cannot believe.
