Thank you @athelstone @janette @raine @thea @libby @sandradavies.
Verve are a small imprint of an indie press so there’ll be no books on shelves in Waterstones but they’re lovely people and the fit feels so right. The indie press route has worked very well for me and is well worth a try. They’re often more open to books that don’t quite fit into what the big trade publishers are looking for.
Yes, @sandradavies it is the same book you read some years ago. Just shows how long it can take and how much work!
Jesmond, @raine is where I was born. No one likes my name which is actually Shufflebotham. There’s another crime writer in the US called Jane Gorman (my married name) and when I suggested Jane Botham, the publisher said there was someone already publishing under that name on Amazon. I had a quick look and it turned out to be a porn film star!
2021 is going to be an exciting year with Raine and Kaz both having debut novels published!

Aha, Jesmond. My brother lived there in the early/mid 70s. Lily Avenue. I visited a couple of times. Don’t remember much about it – but we were young.
We moved away when I was three so I remember nothing!
