Today the book is out to a competition in the wide world.  It feels strange that it has left my computer and flown to Dundee, where the conflicts began and where our own determination to be together began.

I am realistic about how it will do...not very much, since it is a novice effort and the competition is fierce.  However the challenge of getting it  to a stage where it could be offered as as debut novel has been worth it in any case.  It would be lucky if Lorraine Kelly gets to read it.  I think she would like it.

 

Meanwhile my lovely hairdresser Georgie and my reflexology lady Hayley  have each declared they are keen to read it!
