It's even colder in Devon today. But this gives me a good excuse to stay inside and get on with a new novel. It's very tempting to spend a Sunday afternoon slobbed out in front of a favourite film with a big chunk of Galaxy and a mug of hot chocolate. But this year I am going to be disciplined and get on with my work, because nobody can read a novel I haven't yet written, can they?
I do a lot of author interviews for Writing Magazine, and I regularly talk to first time novelists such as Gemma Burgess, whose romantic comedy The Dating Detox is published by Avon. The interview is in the February edition, out now - and there's also a profile of American author Susan Palmquist, who was longlisted for the 2008 Harry Bowling Prize and is now a published novelist.
The Dating Detox sounds fun! Looking forward to reading that. And I want to read another Margaret James book too, so think you ought to write faster!
