And now for something completely different

I have been writing, just not here. I finished the revision work on Peeling the Onion, and that's now republished. It's why I love indie publishing so much, There's no delay—well, there's a bit of a delay, but not nearly as much as traditional publishing. I've heard it can take up to two years, or more, to get a manuscript from leaving the author, to arriving with the reader. Indie publishing takes approximately three days. That's not three days to write, revise, edit, create a cover and get beta reader feedback. That's three days from when the final manuscript is submitted and the publish button is pushed.

At the same time as working on Peeling the Onion, I was collaborating with my granddaughter on a middle grade novel. I recommend for 8 to 14 years old. Although, the adults who have read it, as beta readers or critique partners, have all enjoyed it too.

It's just getting the final touch up, and I'll let you know as soon as it's published. It will be available in all formats, and on all Amazon sites, but because Madison, the lead author, lives in the UK, it will be British English as opposed to US English, which my novels are. 

Finally, to answer the question so many of you have been asking. Yes, there will be a book 7 in the Escape Route series. I've just started working on that. So, once again, watch this space.
