Yes, i have finished reading through the proffs of the rewrire of my novel The Penny Bagnle and I'm alsmost sure there are no misplaced commas or spelling mistakes or grammatical errors, although one or two alwasy seem to seep through, don't kow quite how!
It's been a long journey, rewriting and revising these three novels (The Silver Locket, The Golden Chain and The Penny Bangle) for paperback publication, but I've enjoyed doing it, and I have learned a lot more about my characters as I've gone along.
I've finished now, and am sad to say goodbye.
But there's a big crowd of people still in my head, all waiting to be written about! I've got two heroines pushing and shoving their way into my consciousness right now. So, ladies, which of you is going first? The one who works in an architectural salvage yard and is thirty-something as I write this post, or the one who was born in the 1920s in Cardiff's now-much-changed Tiger Bay?
Discuss it among yourselves, you two, and let me know. It's nearly midnight, and I'm going to bed!
Welcome!
I've set up this blog so that all my friends, relations and colleagues in the world of writing can keep up to speed with what I'm doing - from now on, I'll never have to say sorry for not keeping in touch.
Or anyway, that's the plan.

You can find my novels as digital downloads on Apple iTunes, Kobo, Kindle and Nook, and most are available as print paperbacks, too.
So pleased to know Hte Nepny Labgen is one step closer!
ReplyDeleteAnd also glad to know I'm not the only one who has trouble with pushy characters, although it's usually the heroes who are more demanding (typical!)
Both your heroines sound as though they will have fascinating lives and I'm looking forward to meeting them.
I'm looking forward to meeting them, too! What will they do, I wonder? Does writing this make me sound mad? Yes...
DeleteExcellent news that there are more stories to be told... and I just know that the Penny Bagel will be brilliant!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jane! I think I have a sequel to Teh Penny Bargle sloshing around somewhere in the back of my mind, but I don't know if and when it will float to the surface...
DeleteBoth new heroines sound fascinating, Margaret. And by the way, I've awarded you the Versatile Blogger Award... details on my own blog x
ReplyDeleteThank you, Suzie - going to look now! MX
