Yes it’s 2025! It’s a New Year and with that I am delighted to announce that this is the year you readers will finally get to be introduced to my fictional babies. My goal is to release Lady Dixon’s Niece this YEAR!
I could have self-published it last May, truth be told but I hung on, and hung on, and hung on, not to mention made some major timeline shifts after fantastic feedback from publishers. While I was a little heart-broken (not going to lie) I gave myself thirty minutes to wallow and then took myself off to the drawing board to make the necessary revisions. The timeline shift threw me a massive curveball but I’m running with it and not looking back. A bit like the other massive cancer curve ball that knocked me for six in late 2023 but I’m also happy to announce that I am officially clear of TNBC. And just like I’ve soldiered on the health battlefield, I’ve also soldiered with Of Social Standing. I’m currently at the half-way point in writing the first draft of the second instalment. No rest for the wicked in my fictional world!
