So I have finished writing my fourth book. It will be called
NOTE TO SELF. It is about Emily a soon to be fifty year old. After twenty years
of marriage her husband left her for another woman. She not only had to deal
with that but the loss her dad who she worshipped. I have tried to capture
every emotion in writing this book. So as I start my first read through and
editing session of which there will be a few, I now start to think of another
idea for my next book. I have characters in my head all the time but trying to
find where they will fit into stories is another matter. I enjoyed so much
writing about Fulneck and Pudsey which are in Leeds in A FAR REACHING DREAM and
THE HIDDEN PATH HOME that I may return there for my next one. Indeed in CARD
SCHOOL there are elements of Pudsey in that too. Pudsey was my childhood and a
place where I feel at home when I visit. It has everything and in THE HIDDEN
PATH HOME I relived the old tales told to me as a child about Greenside Tunnel.
There are other myths and tales from my childhood which may get a mention or
two once I have found the characters to do them justice.
I tried hard to make NOTE TO SELF amusing alongside the
serious emotions and once you read the sort of things her mum and friends come
out with I hope you'll agree. It's hard to leave characters behind when you spend
so much time with them but new ones have to be born.
You keep reading and I'll keep writing.
Here's a picture over Fulneck taken from the Bankhouse Pub, Pudsey.
