Happy memories of my dear husband Harry will always be in my heart. But life moves on and I must move along with it or be lost.
Last week end I found enough courage to continue with my writing life. Having completed my twelveth book at the start of December last I must now get on with the editing and revision of the manuscript - some 85k words.
On Sunday I made a start managing to edit and revise the first six chapters. And on Monday I got through another seven chapters, which took me most of the day and evening to do.
On balance I am quite happy with the book, I feel it is shaping up nicely. I hope my publishers will feel the same when they read it.
I have another thirteen chapters to go through. After that I must then make the alterations on the computer, print the book out again and start checking once more, This will probably happen quite a few times before I am satisfied I have made a good job of it and that the book is up to a good standard.
I value and appreciate my readers and they deserve the best that I can do.
The coming week will be busy with revision. I enjoy it although it is hard work.
What is the new book about?
The main story takes place in Swansea in 1931. A bitter feud has broken out in the Prosser family over the last will and testament of the family matriarch, Rose Prosser.
Siblings are at loggerheads with each other over the ownership of the family business, while young cousins Gillian and Dorothy fall head over heels for the same man, Ronnie Knox, and come to a fierce clash over who will get him.
Everyone has secrets to hide - from forbidden friendships to robbery with violence and a secret illegitimate child.
There is conflict and heartache aplenty.
