Welcome to my very first blog post!
It only took me a while* to figure out how to set up this website (is it even called a website?) so forgive me if I blow my own trumpet and say that doing so was one of my greatest achievements in life. (It was SO darned difficult – like, what on earth is a widget?)
To bring you up to speed on my writing endeavours, I’ve had a howl of a time writing, re-writing and re-re-writing** and I kept at it until I finally hooked a literary agent – Jo Hayes at The Blair Partnership. Together, we worked hard on Elsetime (my middle-grade book for 9-12 year olds) and whizzed it out to the mysterious world of publishers a few weeks ago.
Thank the gods for shellac nails (also a new thing for me), is all I’ll say.

**An arrow can only be shot by pulling it backward. When rejection is dragging you back, it means it’s going to launch you into something great. So just focus, and keep aiming (said someone wiser than me).
