Thank you
I have been following your Channel for a long time. I have subscribed to your channel. And I saw your channel is great and your contents are very good. But comparatively, your video views, likes, comments, and subscribers are very less. If you want I can help you in this matter. I can help you monetize your channel. Kindly Check your mail.
I am so excited my pre order of Second chances at Hollyhock farm comes onto my kindle on Saturday 🎉 can’t wait 😊
@@wendyluvsbooks6537 Tha ks Wendy, I hope you enjoy Zac and Melody's story 💖
May we never forget them ❤
❤
Loving these chats!❤
Thanks very much, Emma. I'd love to chat with you about your books sometime. x
@DeborahCarrAuthor that would be lovely
I am really enjoying these author videos; I'm learning a lot from them, and I love the chatty style of them. Sandy seems like a lot of fun. New author me, so I will be keeping an eye for her novels.
Sandy is lovely. I'm so glad you're finding these chats useful, I'll have lots more to come over the next few months.
Great chat Deb! Loved hearing about Sandy's travels. I lived in a Southern Cypriot wine village, in the vineyard for over eight years - loved the tasting sessions! Ah, deadlines and edits, the author's favourite words! Not. Time Buddy sounds useful! Andi is really supportive, have fun meeting her, Sandy!
Thanks so much, Glynis. I had a lovely time catching up with Sandy and hearing all about her travels and books.
Nice
@@HazrotAliShamim Thank you
Nice Book
What a lovely gift … so beautiful I bet they smell nice 💐
@@wendyluvsbooks6537 It was such an unexpected surprise.
What a beautiful walk you have ❤
Thank you, it is wonderful up there.
Really enjoyed this interview, thank you. No idea how Laura manages to write two books a year alongside her job and, even more impressively, caring for her children. I'm in awe! There must be something in the water in Jersey to have so many authors!
I've no idea how she does it too. Quite incredible.
How lovely x
She really took me by surprise. So sweet of her.
What a lovely interview!
Thanks very much, Emma
What a beautiful cover ❤ I had it pre ordered on my kindle for a while lol … but having seen that cover I might have to order in from over there lol
Thanks, Wendy!😊 Boldwood do amazing covers, it's one of the (many) things I love about being published by them.
Beautiful!
They are. It was such a lovely surprise.
Wonderful interview. It's always interesting to hear from different authors on the process of writing and editing. The amount of hours that goes into everything related to one book is quite astonishing.
Thanks, Tracy. It really is so much work but mostly enjoyable, I think. ;)
What a beautiful commute to work. 🍂🧡 I was extremely interested in what you were saying about not all ideas can be books. I am wondering at what point you decide an idea is not going to work as a full novel? Do you write out a synopsis or a type of mind map? Or do you just start writing it as a story with the knowledge that it might not be a book worthy idea and never come to fruition? Or do you pitch it to your publisher? I have lots of ideas written down, quite a few scenes, and can sometimes write 4000 words in one go (of course it might just be a load of waffle or nonsense😄) - I keep going back to them all but I'm not sure if I'm convinced they can't develop/work as a full novel, or if it's just the voice of self-doubt!🤔
I write out an outline for my books but they're short so not much detail. I think if there isn't enough story in an idea to sustain a book there are ways to make it work eg, add another strand, or a subplot, maybe take the story in a different direction to an original idea, or maybe add an antagonist to add extra conflict for the protagonist. I wish I could write 4000 words today, that's a wonderful amount! You're probably just suffering from self-doubt, I have that with every book I write. Just keep powering through. Good luck!
@@DeborahCarrAuthor thank you. 😊
Great interview. Both of you are lucky living in Jersey, it is definitely a beautiful place to visit. x
Thanks very much, Glynis. I'm glad you enjoyed it. X
🥰🥰🥰
Excited to watch it 😊
@@wendyluvsbooks6537 Thanks very much, Wendy
I am waiting for it
@@HazrotAliShamim Thank you.
Mine is been pre ordered for a while 😊 loved the first one ❤
Thank you so much for pre-ordering the book, Wendy. I m thrilled you enjoyed The forst one and hope you enjoy Second Chances too x
I love that tree , I love autumn 🍁🍂 but at the moment we are going into summer which I hate …… I love you office it’s so nice with a wonderful view …. Did you finish reading Postcards from puffin island or are you busy doing your book 😂… enjoy your day 💞📖💞
Thank you! I love the tree and watching it change over the seasons. I haven't had a chance to finish Postcards from Puffin Island yet because I was sent a book by a publisher to read for me to give a quote. I love doing that and it's a fabulous historical novel. I'll have to post about it at some point.xx
Helllo Ru!
@@EmmaBennetAuthor He says Hello.
The little foot stomp!💓
Great view hope your feeling better ❤
@@MsCrazycabbie I am, thank you.
Nice Book
@@HazrotAliShamim Thank you
Nice
@@HazrotAliShamim Thank you
I am lucky to be reading the arc of this. 😊 I am enjoying it so far. I have family coming this weekend, so have set aside Monday (to recover 😂) and read this for hours. ❤
Thank you for requesting it, Tracy. I'm thrilled you're enjoying it and hope you have a wonderful time with your family this weekend. x
Haha, got to love a Penguin! Really hope your dad makes a quick recovery. xx
Great taste in chocolate! Dad is going home from hospital today so will be much happier again. xx
@@DeborahCarrAuthor so glad to hear it xx
This sort of thing fascinates me. I've just downloaded your An Island at War book and I'm looking forward to reading it. Must be a strange feeling, living on Jersey and knowing what happened there during the war. Such a terrible time for the Channel Islanders. Great video and happy writing! xx
Thank you so much, I hope you enjoy An Island at War. It is odd especially more so since I've been researching and writing historical fiction. I walk my dogs a lot at Les Landes where there are many bunkers, gun placements, etc some cleared and others partially hidden in the gorse. So many mementoes all over the island. xx
I'm so sorry about your dad. Enjoy your visit! Love your new keyboard! My mac keyboard is small but nowhere as cute as yours! x
Thanks Glynis. Dad is doing well now. I love my Pebble and couldn't resist it. Only £27 or so pounds.
The Ivies by Alexa Donne
I hadn't heard of that book but having now looked it up am intrigued. Thanks for the heads-up.
Hello Deborah! My name is C V Jacques and I am also an author myself.It's a pleasure to meet you!
Thank you for visiting my channel, it's good to meet you too.
@@DeborahCarrAuthor Your welcome! I love your videos! They are very calming and inspiring being an author myself!
Best video title ever
😂😂😂
Never heard of a penguin! Not likely to see it in the Halloween mix at the local shop 😁
I believe they're similar to the Australian Tim Tam, if you have those in the US. They are delicious!
I can confirm, they're delicious ❤
I really enjoy your videos …. So excited to know you have started on the third hollyhock book but I am getting excited for the second 😊….. I hope your dad is getting better ❤ …. 🍂📖🍂
Thanks very much Wendy, I love that you enjoy them. Dad is apparently a little better today which is a relief. x
Oh god he sounds like a small plane lol 😂
Or a little piglet!
😂❤ So cute. My dog was a snorer too.
My late husband thought it odd that I found his snoring annoying while I found my dog's snoring sweet. :)
@@DeborahCarrAuthor 😆
Gorgeous covers! x
Thanks Glynis, I love them too x
Oh dear!
I just finished Postcards from puffin island and it was so good luved the characters especially Verity .. loved the island actually I want to live on this island 😂😂 . … now I have to wait for the second book of that one as well as the second book in hollyhock farm …❤ Thanks Deborah as I found out about Postcards from puffin island through your channel …. 💞📖💞
My pleasure, Wendy. I love Christie's books too and am about to start reading Postcards from Puffin Island. x
@@DeborahCarrAuthor you will have to let me know what you think of it but am sure you will love it as well
@@wendyluvsbooks6537 I'm sure I will.
