"There is no real ending. It's just the place where you stop the story."
Frank Herbert
I love these quotes as they sum up why I enjoy writing and how I feel about my current book. The story is only the start of an ongoing adventure for a group of women who came together through a shared experience. To this day their friendship deepens as they share more adventures together.

And my next book will continue to follow the friends on their journey towards the end of the alphabet and who knows where!

The Story of The Alphabetties
" Brought together through pregnancy, five women form a lifelong friendship."
The story of The Alphabet Tour evolves over many years - in fact a few more than twenty six!

My first novel takes the reader on a journey with the five friends to M. The story goes back to the origins of The Alphabet Tour, its early years and its place in each of the lives of the founder members, aka The Alphabetties.

"It is a fellowship based on friendship and its strength comes from its members each of whom have a unique story to tell".

My second book will follow the five friends to the end of the alphabet and record their lives along the way. Who knows which places they'll visit. There'll be flights to consider, dates to be finalised and hotels to be scrutinised.
But wherever it turns out to be there will be fun, laughter and memories made. Whatever may happen they all know they have friends who will always be there.
