When I finished my third novel, I immediately launched into my fourth, giving myself no time to promote What the Monk Didn't See. This time round I was determined to do it differently, and although I have been dabbling with a new novel since last February, I have only just started writing in earnest.
So where on Romney Marsh is the latest one set and in which era? This time I am going for a sequel and decided it had to be a return to Dungeness and so we continue the story of Secrets of the Shingle... With the original novel set in the 1890s, I now enter the twentieth century, which really is a bit modern for me. But with Dungeness still very much cut off from the modern world, I guess it won't be so very different from the time Alice Tibbs stepped off the train to begin her role as a teacher there.
I mentioned I had been writing a bit every now and then, so last Thursday I was on 12,000 words already and aim to write 3,000 a week. Look at my word count, I'm on over 15,000 today!
I'm going back to it now, so more on the book launches and author talks in a few days...
