Congratulations, Sandra! I was going to order a cpy but would love to have a signed one. Can I order one too? Let me know how much.

Congratulations, Sandra. I’m so glad you got there in the end. This always did sound an intriguing plot.

Congratulations Sandra! An 8-year gestation after a sprint start 🙂 Well done on persevering and turning your dream and idea into a proper, finished book!

Oh well, it won’t be the same at York without you 🙁

Thanks, both of you.

What extra protection could he need? He has his expression, his speech…his…[Read more]

Not of the same calibre as some, I gladly concede (don’t envy the judge!), but this proved to be a great exercise to get the ‘fresh writing’ juices flowing – thanks, Sandra.

Bringing a gun into the house changes it all, doesn’t it? As soon as she caught sight of Daddy’s new addition, taking pride of place in his shiny cabinet, Annie dem…[Read more]

I second that, Sandra. Struggling to get started on next WIP, so might try and come up with something this time.

Thank you @barny! 🙂

Tremendous news and tremendous writing, you Author, you!
