The complete manuscript of Lady Dixon’s Niece is complete and in the querying stages with publishing houses.
I have been very fortunate to have full manuscript requests and I’m watching this space (fingers and toes crossed that they too will love the story and characters of Lady Dixon’s Niece as much as I do!)
In the meantime I had some fabulous ‘first readers’, as I call them, preview the novel and I am absolutely over the moon with the positive feedback and food for thought that has come out of the experience. My first readers included an Amazon number one best-selling author, another published writer and founder of a wonderful writing group, an avid reader with a degree in English who very much is my target audience, and a head of Policy and Strategy in local government in the UK with a PhD in Science to boot, who has a keen eye for catching typos. I’m extremely grateful for these four readers giving me their time and their insights. It is fantastic to hear each reader’s perspective and which character gave them the warm and fuzzies or the ick!
