May news

Dear Readers,
I was busily writing my 97th book when my beautiful 12 year old miniature poodle, Lily, became desperately ill with her stage six heart murmur. I have had to say goodbye to a lot of pets in my lifetime but this one was particularly heart wrenching. Lily was a really special dog. Everyone who met her loved her. She was great with kids and babies and toddlers especially. And she had a particularly fondness for the elderly. She should have been a therapy dog! I am so glad I have Louis to keep me company and soon we will be getting him a playmate. He is certainly grieving Lily, as indeed we all are.
Now, I am back to work with a deadline looming over me. Wish me luck!
Best wishes,
Melanie xx
