Everything’s Happening at Once.

 Three new audio books, one short story and a new car!

 After a couple of months of lethargy, things are really moving on the Twist front.

Mr T had a test a couple of weeks ago and we’re now waiting for an appointment with the surgeon which will, we hope result in an early date for the second operation. Send vibes!


The thing I didn’t tell you is that we’re trying to buy an electric car. After borrowing my son Andy’s car, Colin, for a few weeks, I am hooked. The Spanish government is giving a generous grant for electric cars and we were anxious to get our order in before they changed their mind. But buying a car in Spain is a complicated process and if it involves applying for a grant it involves you in mountains of red tape, most of which makes no sense. For example, we had to prove we pay tax in Spain. Shouldn’t the government already know that? It’s not like our records would be hard to find. We’re probably the only Twists in the country.

But yesterday we finally sent off the last form and the garage confirmed we are all set to go. Our car will be ready in five months or so! It’s a Dacia Spring and we’re going to call him Dave. 

Incidentally, can anyone tell me how to pronounce ‘Dacia’?


Then my wonderful new friend and narrator, Jan McNamar has produced two audio books in record time. Six Tales of Christmas came out last month, well in time for Christmas, and The Cottage at the End of theWorld will come out any day now.. Don’t forget you get your first audio book free with the Amazon Audible free trial. If you’ve already bought the kindle copies, you can add the audio for £2.99 UK.






Not only is Jan a brilliant narrator, but she produces beautiful advertisements, including a video on You Tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pCY-Z6KRd-E

I am SO impressed.

Right now she’s working on Hidden Agenda. I’m expecting her to come up with the full book in the next couple of days. 

Here is  the new cover.


I have also written, but not yet published, a new story with the working title The Pretend People. It’s based on a series of really weird dreams  I had as a child.

 In the meantime, Google, in its infinite wisdom, decided to change my website so much that I can no longer do anything with it. I tried various sites and in the process discovered I am useless at creating even a simple blog. I finally got one I was happy with but about one in 12 people who looked at it (including me) got an unsafe site warning. I complained bitterly and they seem to have fixed it now. So, apologies to all those who were following my old blog. Here’s the new site. https://bookswithatwst.blogspot.com/

Let me know if you have any problems accessing it.

 Meanwhile, have a great day and keep reading.

 

Love

Jenny
