I read this and wanted to share it... From the surgical nurse and certified CPR teacher: Please pause for 2 minutes and read this: 1. Let’s say it’s 7.25pm and you’re going home (alone of course) after an unusually hard day on the job. 2. You’re really tired, upset and frustrated. 3 Suddenly you start experiencing severe pain in your chest that starts to drag out into your arm and up into your jaw. You are only about five km from the hospital nearest your home. 4. Unfortunately, you don’t know if you’ll be able to make it that far. 5.

http://kaymacleodbooks.com/2019-update/ As we’re saying goodbye to January, I thought it was about time I gave you guys a proper update of what I have going on this year. I’ve put a lot of effort into learning how to write faster and smarter over the last few months, so there is a lot to look forward to! I’ve already finished a 15K short called The Missing Branch that will be part of an anthology coming out later in the year. These stories are linked to  Brit Lunden ‘s paranormal thriller, Bulwark. Make sure you grab a  copy to get up to speed with the setting. It’s my first foray into the paranormal genre and there may be some romance in there too… US –  https://www.amazon.com/Bulwark-Brit-Lunden-ebook/dp/B079BCLL2C UK –  https://www.amazon.co.uk/Bulwark-Brit-Lunden-ebook/dp/B079BCLL2C Next up, I’ll be releasing the side project I’ve been hinting at for a couple of months. I should have my first draft of The Carnelian Fox, a YA gamelit novel, done by the end of next week
