Just finished the fourth edit of the sequel to The Woman in the Painting, before the manuscipt goes off to the editor at the end of May - made myself cry! The new book should be out in autumn #TimeSlip #DualTimelineFiction #HistoricalFiction #BooksSetInOxfordshire

I've reached my favourite stage of the editing process for a dual timeline novel - stitching the separate narratives together - watch out for the sequel to The Woman in the Painting later this year #historicalfiction #timeslip #dualtimeline

I've just finished the first draft of the manuscript for the sequel to The Woman in the Painting. It's very scrappy and patchy in places, but the story is complete. Can't wait to get stuck into the editing next week. #HistoricalFiction #IndependentAuthors
