IT’S WINDY OUT THERE. WHAT BETTER TO DO THAN WRITE!

It’s a very windy day – gusts up to 100mph are forecast. So what to do, but catch up on my blog and think about a sequel.

Then I bumped into my neighbour who had just finished reading Fighting Back.

‘You have to write another. I couldn’t put it down. A great thriller.’

What a lovely reaction to a book I had ignored for so many years.

I know perhaps people wouldn’t tell me the absolute truth if they didn’t like it but I have had such a strong reaction from everyone that I am beginning to think maybe I should write another.

When I was proof reading Fighting Back, I found myself crying at times, even getting very angry and also longing to be sailing again. Strange, isn’t it, considering I wrote it, and it was obviously fiction.

They say there’s a book in everyone, but I never actually thought there was until I was forced to sit around in a hotel having hurt my knee skiing. Friends will know I don’t really sit around doing nothing. But writing is something that makes me relax totally. That and sailing.

At school when we were told to write an essay, I would write about ten pages compared to others in the class who stopped after half a page. I never really thought about it then. I just enjoyed developing every story.

So, here goes. Fighting Back to be continued . . .
