First Edit

Since I'm on holidays and have a little more time to burn I thought I'd sit down and work on my novel. And low and behold, I managed to finish the first edit!
It's the fourth novel I've written and it's about time I finally got to this stage as I've been writing it since I was 15!

My first three books, a trilogy called 'Over the End of the World,' I started writing when I was 12 and finished writing when I was 15. I had the chance to send the first book to a publisher for editing almost 6 years ago but because of certain circumstances never did... I wrote it when I was so young I won't even try to publish it now.

But this novel, 'Shades of Grey', which is a stand alone I'm going to work really hard to get on the shelves! It's a bit of a mutt, being a combination of science fiction, fantasy and mystery (but not too much of any genre).
I've been planning out another couple of novels too. I think the next one on my list to write will be 'Umbrae', which is Latin for complete darkness. And I wonder why people call me morbid...?

Anyway! I was excited!
Don't ask me too much about the plot as I'm one of those secretive authors who never reveals anything. It'll probably never get published cos I'm not really a professional or anything but wish me luck finding an agent!

Good to you Jess. All the best in finding a publisher that will publish it for you.

Both Grandma & I love(d) writing and now that I am nearly up to date, must get back to my memoirs. There is just so much to do.
