If you check out my short bio, you will see that my first novel, Holding On, is on track to be published by Elephant Page, (based in Perth, Western Australia) later this year.

Tonight I am sending off the latest version of the manuscript. I was responding to some great advice on small structural edits, which resulted in combining and dividing a few chapters, and creating more drama between key scenes, and tidying up a few other small details. I think it improved the whole package.

I also opened up my notes and started outlining the next book in the Holding On series. It’s about Manessa, a character who began her journeying Holding On as an annoying, mouth-breathing ranga, but ended up I’m pretty excited, and I will write more about this as the manuscript begins to take shape.
