Just randomly I thought I'd include this photo on my blog. The two girls at a book signing at WH Smith's in Oxford are old school friends I've known for . . . half a century . . . (I know we're not exactly girls any more)
I'm back in WH Smith's in Oxford on Sunday 15th November so please come along if you're in the area and say hello.
As for news - ROAD CLOSED is now with my editor . . . I finished it while on holiday in Italy (how's that for dedication?) Job done (I hope!) Now I just have to wait and see what comments come back.
For those of you who haven't been through the process, here's how it works. As an author you submit your manuscript to the editor who sends back content edits - any general comments on the balance, the plotline, characters etc. After making these finishing touches to the manuscript, it goes back to the editor who goes through in detail: the line edit. I'm keeping my fingers crossed the editor is happy with it.

Good luck with your editor's feedback, and well done for turning in your second manuscript. I hope their aren't any major change requests for you!
Thanks, Barry. I hope so too! I'll post on here when I hear anything.
Good luck with the first edit. I am half way through 'Cut Short' and enjoying it very much.
Blessings, Star
Thank you, Star. I'm glad you're enjoying it.
Good luck, and congrats on having it turned in.
It's a relief, Charles . . . and a worry . . .
Fingers crossed for you, and looking forward to reading it.
Thank you, Debs. Now get back to your shed!
I'm with the American way of thinking: you are a girl until you're dead.
Good luck with the editor.
Yay Pat. Go girls!
You'll be fine, Leigh. This one will be a hit too.
Hi Barbara - thank you. I must come over and look at the lovely photos on your blog soon. I've been away enjoying the beautiful Tuscan countryside - lakes, valleys, hills, forests - olive groves, vineyards, and lovely cyprus trees. Now it's back to rainy old UK. Yes, I definitely need to visit your blog soon!
You are on such a good roll! Best of luck on this one.
Good luck with your new book. I hope there are fewer edits and re-writes then the first. So, on to your third?
Thanks, Rick. At the moment it's a little like riding a snowball down a mountain - every time I climb back on after a tumble I find it's grown . . .
Hi Anne - good to hear from you again. Yes, I'm hoping the ms for Road Closed won't be quite such a nightmare to sort out as Cut Short was! So far so good . . . but waiting to hear from the editor . . .
And yes, I've started planning (note: me, planning) book 3.

All the best in the development of the second book.Very exciting.
Thanks, fizzycat. The cover design of Road Closed is already on my publisher's website. I'll post a copy of it here when I've heard back from the editor.
