My 12th novel, and my 1st in the mystery genre, is entitled “Death on the Quay”. It’s currently a work in progress. A female Beta Reader has recently said this about it:
"A very New Zealand setting is the backdrop to this more than believable mystery. An original premise keeps you wondering till the end. A fine outing for new character Adam Adair, and perhaps the first in a series for the amateur journalist. "
I expect the manuscript to be back from my editor by the end of the week. For the last three weeks I’ve been like an addict going through withdrawal. After months of working on the book (over autumn and winter) it has been very hard to stay away from it while the editor does his thing.
I’m so looking forward to the time I’ll spend considering the editorial changes as Spring turns to Summer.
