“What we need is not the will to believe but the wish to find out” ~ William Worsdworth
“The very least you can do in your life is figure out what you hope for. And the most you can do is live inside that hope. Not admire it from a distance but live right in it, under its roof.” ~ Barbara Kingsolver
Welcome
Happy April! My favourite month.
The North ushers in spring with bursts of colour, while the Southern summers wave goodbye.
It’s also my birthday month -Yeah!!
I’m lucky to share it with two of my favourites: William Wordsworth and Barbara Kingsolver.
In my newsletters, I’ll tell you a bit about my recent favourites, and who’s top of my can’twait-
to-read list, but for this first greeting it’s simply an update on my series, so you
know something about what you’ve signed up for.
Thank you for subscribing!
I hope you enjoyed the prologue and are looking forward to more of 1800’s Scotland.
This-my debut series-has come together, back to front.
I’ve been told I’m a pantser—works for me. My brain loves to plan, list and schedule—then forget and start
again. Writing my first book was the most cathartic and joyful experience, flying by in a frantic bashing of keys,
after which I thought I was done. Not so fast. My lofty writing friends, and characters, turned me around and
sent me backwards. This put book one on the back burner while I got to work—and here we are, ready to
launch!
A series of five is on the way. Ok, only 1 and 3 are complete, but 2 is halfway, 4 is started, and I just know
there’s a 5.
As a newbie, self-publishing seems the sensible thing to do. Horror stories from the #amquerying souls tell me I can do without the trauma.
I’ll pop into your mailbox every 2 weeks, but feel free to pop into mine.
If you enjoy historical fiction, tenacious women and spooky forests, stick with me, it’ll be fun.
‘Till next time
