I really enjoyed reading Red River Girl. It was very well written and kept me interested throughout. I usually struggle reading non fiction. It’s not my genre of choice. Will you be writing any other books in the future?
Joanna Jolly Hi Cecile, Thanks for your question and for reading Red River Girl! I very much hope to write more books in the future - both non-fiction and fiction …moreHi Cecile, Thanks for your question and for reading Red River Girl! I very much hope to write more books in the future - both non-fiction and fiction - and am thinking about a few ideas at the moment. I've always been interested in crime and police and legal processes so I'll probably stick to this area. Hopefully it won't be too long before my next book! Best, Joanna(less)
