My first #French#translation tumbled through the letterbox this morning. As an indie author, translations weren't something on my horizon initially, but now, they're becoming an increasing part of my world. All I can say is, je l'aime! #lesbian#lesfic#queer#sapphic
Of all the cities in the world, #london is still my favourite. I have a soft spot for Auckland, Chicago, Paris and Berlin. But London is where I always wanted to live as a child, and it never disappoints. Wherever I go, my heart will always be here. #londonvibes#greenwich
Sea View with Seedheads. After a few attempts, I discovered that a pale stubble field was the perfect contrast to the rich textures and spikey forms of the grasses and seed heads. Layers of ink give a sense of recession to a distant headland #nothumberland https://t.co/vEIxBRp4E2
Today I felt discouraged about low sales but then a student told me she loved my book and begged me to tell her the fate of a certain character.
Momentum is slow, I suck at marketing, but people in the real world love my book. At the end of the day, what more could I ask for?
I'm clinging on here because of the lovely folks I interact with (hoping they stay too!). But I'm also now on the cerulean dome thingy and would love to connect with fellow bookish types. Details belowπ.
