This Tuesday Newsday I thought I’d share some of my own news. Tomorrow is the LAST DAY of my radiotherapy treatment. I’m feeling pretty naff, as we Brits say, but the realisation that after tomorrow I won’t need to attend that bloody hospital anymore until my review in a fortnight’s time is enough to fill me with untold joy.
While I’ve been sitting at home naffing about and feeling naff, I finally managed to finish re-writing The Porn Detective, my debut novel from 2013, taking in everything I’ve learned over the past 4 years. Back in February 2013 after an agonising week of waiting for the powers-that-be to make their mind up, the first edition was eventually turned down by one of the London literary agencies. I’ve re-written it, so guess what? I’m sending the second edition back to them again!
Also my publisher Creativia has come up with a new cover for my family drama ‘The Donor’, so I’m sharing it with you below. Thanks Miika – nice one! The Donor will be free from 8th – 12th June. http://bookShow.me/B01G3KFZ64

Hi. Thanks for connecting. I like your website. Yes, pornography addiction is very common, and that’s why I wanted to write about the effect it can have on some people. I’ll be re-publishing my book this summer, probably around July/August time I think.

I am so happy for you!! Thanks for teaching me a new British word, “naff”. Do young folks use it? I would love to use it in my next book, have my English character say it. The new cover is super! You certainly haven’t let all this slow you down much. I admire that so much. Sending hugs. xo

Thanks Darlene. I first heard it from the Royal family – Princess Anne said it years ago. I also like ‘meh’ – that’s a young person’s word I think.

Princess Anne used to say ‘Naff off’ to the Press!

That is why I always liked her. I assumed it meant feeling happy/pleased or as my hubby would say, feeling chuffed. But I think she may have meant something entirely different!

Yes, it would come out as ‘Naff orf’ with the accent…

Just looked it up – British slang, today meaning uncool, tacky, unfashionable, worthless… or as a softer expletive made famous by Princess Anne. LOL Still think I can use it.
