I've been writing for a very long time. My first novel was published in 1994. On the strength of that I got an agent. Then another one. Wrote two more novels that went nowhere, as I tried to please said agent. I took a long break and worked in marketing (more fiction, as I knew very little about what I was marketing). I took part in NaNoWriMo two years in a row and enjoyed that a lot, but could never find the time to take either first draft further. A change of circumstances in 2017 meant I both could, and needed to, take time out from work, and I took the opportunity to write To See The Light Return, now published through Tablo. I loved getting back into telling a story on my own terms, and my plan is to return to those first drafts and hope to create a trilogy of crime thrillers out of them.
