I'd got to the end of the manuscript and thought, 'I can do this.' (Lots of editing and feedback from professionals came after that - helping to make the book so much better.) But it was when I'd finished that first draft that I felt like a writer. Until I'd finished it, I was just 'having a go.' Hope that makes sense! Lorna xx(less)

How wonderful. If you are in Canada, my first novel The Forgotten Village was re-titled The Forgotten Wife and it's in a larger size. But if you wanted all of my books published so far in England to be the same size, The Forgotten Village in paperback would match the others. And, in fact, it has a slightly different front cover colour-wise. I've just checked and The Book Depository (free worldwide shipping on all purchases) has a new copy in stock, so they say. Good luck! All the best, Lorna x(less)
