February Update

There has been so many highlights this month including "The Late Late Show" which was a great experience and appearing on "The Morning Show" with Sybil and Martin, again fantastic both of which made my month. Not forgetting the rounds on the radio, LMFM, EastCoast Radio, Country Mix, Newstalk and 4FM. In between all of the above I've still managed to ferry my boys to and from Rugby, swimming and all of their many activities not to mention the little lad being struck down with measels and chicken pox..the life of a mom. I'm still writing away at my next novel, spicy gritty chicklit which I'm loving. So until next time take care, wishing you all the best Valerie..
