Post from Claire Connolly at Bebo Author It Works! Thanks for the suggestions, I can finally create posts again, woo! I still don’t actually know what was wrong but I soooo don’t care as long as it works now (if a little imperfectly) :) I may start posting some of the entries although obviously I still can’t give credit [...]

Quick Note

Post from Claire Connolly at Bebo Author Quick Note Just a quick note to let you all know that the judging process is still continuing. I have had another little setback - the charger on my laptop broke so I can’t access a lot of the contestant information until a new one is delivered from America but [...]

Post from Claire Connolly at Bebo Author Book Excerpt Meme I was half-heartedly tagged for this by Sharp Words so decided to do it and let people know that I haven’t disappeared. These are the rules, although I’m not tagging anyone. Pick up the nearest book (of at least 123 pages). Open the book to page 123. Find the [...]

Last Day

Post from Claire Connolly at Bebo Author Last Day Today is the final day of the writing competition. Somewhat unsurprisingly, considering everything else that has managed to go wrong, I’m having a great deal of trouble replying to emails for some reason. :) Hopefully, my replies will send soon! More importantly, the deadline for the contest is midnight [...]

Post from Claire Connolly at Bebo Author One Week Left One week left on the writing competition - celebrated by my children by removing every single button on the keyboard of my laptop - so it’s time to start winding down. If you have any changes to make to your story such as adding to the wordcount to [...]

Sadie

Post from Claire Connolly at Bebo Author Sadie I am not really a soppy person (okay, maybe just a little) but this book made me bawl my eyes out for twenty minutes. Sadie is Jane Elliott’s first novel and it is the first novel to make me cry in quite a while. Sadie is a young girl [...]

The Black Magician Trilogy

Post from Claire Connolly at Bebo Author The Black Magician Trilogy I thought I would ease back into things by talking about some of the books I read in my absence. I’ve been reading a lot while I’ve been in hiding and although some of the books were pretty rubbish, others were amazingly good. I received some [...]
