I can sit back and relax for a little while. Faux Pas is with my editor for the final proof before I start looking for ARC readers. I will spend the next 3 weeks trying to write a blurb. The hard bit 🤣

One Little Faux Pas, first draft, is completed
Writers know the words 'The End' actually mean 'The Beginning'.
Job one is to go through and fill in all the [description needed] bits.
Then, as it's a comedy, I'd better add some jokes 🤣

I admit it. I'm a doodler in meetings. Weirdly, it keeps my mind on task. My current project has been added to for several weeks now and has become quite organic.

MC gets everything**HE** deserves. If I was his boss, I'd have sacked him for being a selfish lying arse. Too political. Far too woke. MC should stop messing around and do his job. Really like Sara though, so 1*

A homicide in a trans nightclub and Jack Ville is assigned the case, but he has a secret... Jill. And she was there 2 hours earlier. It's a tightrope between solving the case and keeping closeted. Unfortunately, it looks like it might take Jill to solve this one. #booksky
