August 2019

An exceptionally busy month with eleven novels edited—a total of 675,000 words—plus the usual samples and rewrites.

Five of these were in the Starship Renegades series by Saffron Bryant which were slotted around a variety of novels in other genres including the first in a new series, The Career Killer a debut novel by Ali Gunn, The Dauphin Deception the fourth in the Alex Hunt series by Urcelia Teixeira, another sci-fi novel (details to follow when available), and the latest thriller by John Carson, the first in the new Harry McNeil series, Sticks and Stones.

August ended with the latest thriller from Sharon M Thompson and the second in the lovely series by Hilary Pugh both of which will be published in the near future.

My doggy companions during August were Harley, who is particularly fond of sleeping in an old planter as well as taking shoes, socks, gloves and anything else he can find into the garden, Milo, a delightful but restful companion, and the gorgeous little poodle, Dolly arrived at the end of the month.
