So after not being with a publisher for around four or so years, I signed a contract recently with Garden Avenue Press.The Thick of Things is a women's fiction novel with strong romantic elements. The main characters are mature, which is something different for me, and I enjoyed writing this first part of their story.
I'm excited about working with Garden Avenue Press to make this novel the best it can be and so far, the journey has been an interesting one. At this point, The Thick of Things is better than it was originally, thanks to some wonderful editors and a great team at GAP.
We don't have a cover yet, which is going to be another exciting step. I'm looking forward to what lies ahead in the next few months..
