Lockdown Upside

Well, a few weeks ago I finished Voice of the Dead. Since then, in two months, I've written the first draft of a new book, called Seven for a Secret.


The thing about lockdown is that it gives me time. Working a job and trying to raise 2 young daughters doesn't leave me much time to write, usually. I find the time (or make it), but being on furlough helps.


Think what I could do if I was able to write full time...


Anyway, the last 12 months have been horrible for all of us. It might not be drawing to a close either, because for every new vaccine there seems to be a new variant too. But there are bright sides. I'm trying to focus on them, and not the unfolding catastrophe outside my windows.
