It feels very auspicious that today is Lucky Leap Year day and it's the launch of my Unbound campaign to get my first novel, 'The Pagoda Tree', published in the UK. I’m excited and nervous as it’s new territory for me. But thank you so much to everyone who has already supported me. That makes the butterflies in my tummy slightly calmer... It's lovely to know I've received pledges from the get-go. Over the coming weeks and months I'll be filling you in with some tales of how I wrote the novel, what I get up to in my own (real) writing 'shed' and sneak previews on what I'm writing next. Any questions, just fire away. Until then I’ll try to Keep Calm and Put the Kettle On.
