The Last Letter - Published 1st November 2016

As I sit here at 11pm on the night before my second novel is published - The Last Letter, I'm struck by how peculiar the last year and a half has been.

I'm not quite sure what happened to be honest. But by this time tomorrow, I will be the proud author of two published novels - The Last Letter & Fifteen Postcards; with one short story published in a print anthology - Landmarks: 2015 National Flash-Fiction Day Anthology; and a poem published in an anthology published by Penguin - "Thanks Mum".

How did this happen?

I barely remember writing all those words, but I must have, because no one else did!

It is a dream, a happy dream. I don't think I've ever been part of such a supportive group of people before than this tribe I find myself in - the people who inhabit the world of books - readers, authors, bloggers, librarians (although I've always known that they are fabulous), literary festivals organisers & speakers & attendees. Everyone really.

And so I just wanted to say thank you. Thank you for the reviews. Thank you for the encouragement. Thank you for the support. Thank you for the advice.

Love to you all.
