As autumn nights draw in, I'm using the school October holiday to polish, hone and re-draft my new ghost story - DARKER ENDS. I am one of my own worst critics. Self-doubt sits on my shoulder, an incorrigible editor who insists that I weigh up and agonize over every word. Will it ever be perfect? Probably not. But I hope it's quite atmospheric and haunting...
The mellow mists and golden leaves are putting me in the right frame of mind, anyway. Also working on another children's story set in Holocaust, but still very much at early stages (20,000 words) so it's bad luck to talk about it...
