I make no
secret of the fact that I write adult novels. My children are only young, aged
6 and 3, and my eldest daughter is now of an age where she can read full
sentences. I realised that I must now take care of what I am writing when she
is in the room! I had a similar experience with our next-door neighbour a few
years ago, so have been fairly secretive since then. I usually write my novels
at night, when the children are in bed.
Anyway, I
took my daughters to our local Scribe
Festival recently. As a volunteer organiser, I took an active role in
preparation of the event, and on the day, I wanted my children to get involved
with the family activities. They loved it! I also wanted an author presence at
the event, so I took my display banner and a collection of books to showcase.
My banner has a vampire image on it, taken from the cover of my short story, Christmas with the Vampires. I thought nothing of it until my daughter studied
the image for a while, asked a few questions about what that red stuff in the
glass was, why was the lady lying down, and was the man a vampire? She began to
look a little frightened as I explained that it was from one of my stories.
Whoops!
