Got an R&R on my manuscript (which is delightful) but I have just spotted a spelling mistake in the third sentence of the opening chapter and good lord I feel like I have been stabbed 🥲 this is going to be painful.

Ophelia starts her last year at uni caught between a rock and a hard place. The rock: the Parthenon marbles. And the hard place, the criminals who want her to steal them to settle her father’s gambling debt of £13 mil. Or, that’s what’s she telling everyone #P2Ppit #W #A #C #F

So in theory, if I write 3000 words for the next 15 days I could have this first draft finished by the end of Jan, which means I would have written an entire book in around 2 months 😱

Em made a deal with a god five years ago to get her friend out of prison. Now it’s time to play her part. She must steal that god’s violin out of a museum and deliver it to his chosen bard. But if she’s caught, she’ll go to prison forever.

Sierra loves her family and dreads becoming them. Their folk healing hurts and their pills make you sick. But when infectious iron starts creeping through veins like kudzu, she is forced to take on her dark inheritance.
But if she must become a monster, she might as well be a big one…
