All I want for Christmas is some…book sales. Alternately, I would love to visit your book club or would a request to carry my book at your local library. I’m so proud of this book, and I hope that I can share that love with more people. 💗💗💗

I've finished reading the proofs for my 3rd novel (self-publishing). My emotions are mixed. Pride, fear & anxiety, whatever-did-I-do-this-for, excitement, madness.
"Longshore Drift" comes out next spring. It's set in a fictitious Dungeness, a large shingle bank in Kent, UK. (My own photo)
