I�m really excited to share the news that I came second in The Flash 500 Novel opening 2023 competition. The winners were announced this afternoon and I�m still buzzing.
Here�s what the judges from Headline Publishing had to say�
�There is much to admire in this submission and it is a thoroughly deserving runner-up. We found it hugely readable and, in the end, there wasn�t much between this and the winner. We found ourselves immediately drawn in by the author�s characterisations, which seemed considered, believable and satisfyingly complex��

It�s a wonderful feeling to reach the final and be placed second in this competition. The book is a special one for me as writing it helped me through those long months of lockdown. I�ve spent the last few years editing it and planning a series around the original story.
Secrets and Love Songs at The Mermaid Hotel will be published in 2024. I still haven�t decided whether that will be with me self publishing it, or through a publisher. Keep following my blog for updates.
I hope to post next week with a 2023 writing and reading annual wrap up, and my plans for 2024.
