Writing Projects
Working from home? No change there then... How is the writing going? I have, of late, become a little distracted. O ver Christmas, I discovered I have prostate cancer and recently had my surgery cancelled due to the COVID-19 outbreak - this has somewhat affected my level of focus. But don't worry, prostate cancer is something you usually die with rather than from, so I'm in no imminent danger - it will get sorted when things return to normal.
Retreat to France
To finish the third novel Some of you may have seen from Twitter and Facebook that I've gone to France for a month or so to finish the third instalment in the Shaun Young series.

A Nor'easter is blowing in...
... this Friday 26th October 2018 I'm so pleased to announce that I've finally finished The Nor'easter . My editor, Janet Laurence, returned her review of my 147,500 word first draft at the end of August and I completed the re-work at the end of September. I went through it again to clean and tighten, reducing the words from 142,00 t0 134,940. John Holland then performed a final proofread and here we are.
