Today – June 14th, 2014 – is a momentous day for me. Delivered – the sample copy of my novel Of Night and Light
I’d ordered Room by Emma Donoghue and I thought the package was that. Exciting enough in itself – but when I saw that it was MY BOOK, well…according to Tim, you could hear the screams from half a mile away and, several hours later, his ear drums are still vibrating.
Screams of delight!
And here it is.
Of Night and Light
I’ve recounted the long journey to publication on my Quirkyworks website.
How, in heaven’s name did I get to this point? Sometimes I wonder, myself. If I need reminding I could follow my own advice and… Read all about it in a series of blogs

And then there’s the boy…”
A tiny fragment from Chapter 1 – or I could say shard.
“And now, when I look in the mirror, my face is cut in half, which I wouldn’t mind because I only like one half of my face anyway.”
