Champagne to our real friends, Real pain to our sham friends
Why...
The long silence?
Apologies all round.
I have just completed my third book, giving my agent the pitch of two completed books to secure a new publishing deal on top of my published first book Fall Out (by MN Grenside available on Amazon in paperback, Kindle or audio book. Got to be allowed a plug. It’s Christmas)!
This has meant much of the time when I would be tapping out these missives I have been completing the trilogy. Even as I write this on a plane to New York to see a number of producers about film and TV rights, I have spent a few hours noodling over book four.
I thoroughly enjoy my new occupation as a published author, despite some days of staring at a blank screen for hours on end. Even more frustrating is deleting large sections that a few days before I reckoned were ubergripping but I see now are as exciting as watching toast get cold!
Writing is the creative equivalent of three steps forward and two steps back…with a zillion miles to walk.
So, this is my apology for my recent silence and undertaking that normal service will be resumed in 2024.
