Trying to be a bit more 'professional' with some things and thus resulting in a move to somewhere, where I could merge a blog and a website.

We Have Moved.
28 July 2009
Breathings of Your Heart.
Are like soft beatings of butterfly wings,
Upon this tortured soul.
And upon this bruised and beaten heart,
You leave it with but a single hope.
A hope that my day, starts anew.
Do not ask where such ramblings and bizarre wordings came from; my head at the present is full of things. Sadly lacking ideas which is a Fail moment indeed. However, so is the fact that I've let this Blog die out like a distant memory of a fading flame.
Oh can I quit the poetic musings, for a while? I bet you all agree. It is quite random and not in the good way. My mind has been overly occupied by inhabitants that shouldn't be there, old memories about people who were supposed to be forgotten..
Let me continue to the point, shall I?
This:
Say Hello to the first Sell-Out of The Lockharts. Yay =] This makes me slightly happier than I have been lately, well since certain people are crawling back like cockroaches into my little life..
Amazon.co.uk have nearly Sold-out. Let's help Amazon.com and the many others sell-out too? It would be ever so kind of you =]
Also, for lack of a better controlled Blog, if you type in Google, The Lockharts by Charlotte Munro, you get the whole first page full of Me. How very daunting and bizarre for me, but good for you and your buying of The Lockharts..
I've had an idea about the leaflet dropping on people's windscreens of their cars in carparks. Also promotional T-shirts.. And.
If I could have a drumroll it would make it over dramatic, would it not? I think so.
A sort of Video Podcast or Vlog of The Lockharts, sadly me reading and talking on webcam to you all, so not a nice sight, but it will help get you guys the gist of things I'm sure. Maybe the first chapter and a few highlights of the whole book?
Me thinks I need some feedback, but curse the fact that no one follows this blog..
Sayonara, and Much Peace.

Like the vast Ocean,
The deep unknown remains a mystery,
Even to those trying to crack it.
Honey, I'm all for getting lost
As long as it's with You.
Pass me a quill, as I'm feeling suddenly, mightily philosophical. Hand over to me, the old parchment where I could write with my indecipherable script, everything that is swirling in my head, and only then could you perhaps start to piece together the complexity that is my mind.
The Lockharts, the novel is now in full swing -- and due to quite a few people I know buying off Amazon.co.uk, it is also working!
Review notices are due in the next few weeks (It all depends on how my publishers are going about it and such.) Quite a few national newspapers will have them, such as the Observer, and The Times and my own local Herald and Argus. I need to think up some more newspapers, but seeing as how I'm not much of a reader of the tabloids and such, I'm at quite a loss. It is now just the process of time and of course publicity and promotion. It is at times like this, I hate being an amateur and not knowing what, how and when things happen and so forth. I need to think of some ways of promoting The Lockharts and at the moment the only thing I have in mind is flyer distribution. My guesses are though, most of the places I have in mind to distribute said flyers won't be pleased but as usual it is worth a shot and sometimes just trying to reach the stars is the only way.
It'll happen one day, it's not an if anymore, it is now a when.
Chase those stars dreamers, it'll happen.

P.S Apparently, and this is a big MAYBE my local newspaper might have a feature on me, this I'm not so sure about and it is kind of.. worrying me. I don't like cameras at the best of times let alone a reporter too. Have to get used to it maybe though? Because I never know where this might lead..

If I could write you a letter.
Every vowel and every syllable wouldn't be enough, to express anything I feel.
I feel like I've been neglecting this thing, which is bad really. I'm sorry for those who do follow me, which is like, not a lot.. but I made this blog to vent my thoughts, to express what flows from my mind to my fingers and to this keyboard and to all of you. Then I deleted all my personal blogs on here and made my Tumblr, but I still feel like this place... it has the memories of everything I've written and vented and I felt if not a tad bit guilty then a bit.. sad that I just left this place hanging.
So. The Lockharts have hit the online stores, I have yet to check the local bookstores but I shall when I have a spare few minutes to lurk the bookshelves. For all those who are on Facebook, I've made a group for The Lockharts, feel free to join and get everyone you know to too. All in my vain attempts of promotion, you know. Facebook Group! Also, if you guys have a Facebook add me, I don't mind getting friend requests.
I also feel like I've neglected my writing, but let's just say that I've had other things on my mind that have warranted my attention, but it's cool. It's different and unlike work it takes my mind off everything where I can try and capture some ideas that seem to float by like lost and meaningless clouds just awaiting to be plucked from the sky and made into something worthwhile -- How poetic that sounded. Ahh, anyway I shall not drain your eyes any longer and shall get on with some writing.
Peace, Love and Creativity to all,
Char. x

It's happened.
I got a phonecall this morning from a friend of my boss; she had past on the message that The Lockharts was seen on Tesco's Website, so out of curiosity I looked on Amazon and Waterstones and ect and there you have it, The Lockharts is officially on the market and I could have been the last to know. Weird.
So as I now refrain from jumping from my chair and dancing like a crazed lunatic around my room, I shall list you all with the places where my book, The Lockharts can be purchased online -- I have yet to mosey around the bookstores yet, but I shall!
Amazon.com
Amazon.co.uk
Tesco.com
Waterstones.com
IBS.it
Barnes & Noble
Those are some of the websites I have found, if you all could do me a favour and maybe hunt it down in local bookstores and the like and let me know? it would be awesome. Thank you.
So yes, I suppose The Lockharts have no hit the globe.
The only thing I'm a tad bit disgruntled at is that in some of the websites it's under Children's Fiction...
I guess I can live with that a little.

Change.
Change is something that many people are frightened of; that is, the unknowing of what kind of Change is to happen. the fear of becoming someone different, the brief and fleeting woe you feel when for just a moment you think, I never wanted to Change.
Change is imminent, Change happens when we least expect it and at times, Change can be welcome.
I dislike Change, it is one of the few things I can't stand.
Probably because, I've had to go through so much change in my life, just a little bit of stability and reassurance was all I really wanted. now, all I seen is Change, but perhaps my outlook on such a topic has also.. changed.
A year ago, I wouldn't have imagined me being where I am (To be honest, not that I'm anywhere important.) I couldn't even imagine The Lockharts being published officially, now, it's within the Month. I couldn't have imagined me going out and meeting new people.. hanging out and drinking like your average teenager does, but within moderation.
I never expected to have things I've wanted and yearned for, to fall into place.
This is, as I suppose I should say, Good Change.
The other sort of Change, that I should get on with telling my very few followers, is that I shall be deleting all my old posts on here and starting anew -- this blog being my 'professional' one for my writings and such and The Lockharts. My Tumblr, there is where I shall share my random thoughts, pictures and lyrics of the moment.
And also, Change.. change has happened and I've sure met some interesting people, people who actually, for once seem to want to know me for me, how long this will last I'm not certain but.. I'm still unbelieving really.
Welcome Change, because sometimes Change is good.
Charlotte x
P.S The Lockharts shall be hitting the shelves, Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk and the US within the next Month. It's finally here, and believe me, You will all know when it comes out officially.
