Arriving Soon!

I’ve been busy the last fortnight with getting my girls ready for university. I have managed to survive their going because of this one baby I have left- one that needs my attention before it too can fly out into the world.

I am talking about my book. It’s finally reaching a stage where I can start sharing the news of its arrival. It took three years to take shape. And then, there was the waiting for a publisher. Finally, last Christmas, brought with it a piece of good news- my manuscript got accepted- I have my fingers crossed that all goes well.

For now, I’m excited to share the novel’s title and genre with you. It’s contemporary fiction. Click here to follow my Author page on Facebook. It’s where I’ll be posting regular updates about the book.

Here’s a little video I made to introduce it to the world.

Cheers,

      Sarah, it is🙂.
      It’s nerve-racking, too – the part where you have depend on publishers and they don’t meet the deadlines because for them your book is one of many.

        Of course – but a good publisher should recognise that this is your baby and at least keep you informed of progress even if it isn’t as fast as you would wish!

      Thanks so much, Robbie❤️. I enjoyed making the real and, for the first time, sharing a glimpse of what is to come with the world. You’re right… a new book is exciting and takes so much of one’s energy. 🙂
