My ambition to be a published author probably started in the womb, but it’s taken longer than I’d hoped to actually get here.
I penned my first complete novel in 2002, and in my youthful folly convinced myself that this was it. However, any illusions I had were soon shattered – modern rejection emails are bad enough, but in the days of hard copies and SAEs, I began to dread opening my front to find yet another tell-tale manila envelope scrawled in my own hand.
