Margo’s Recent Updates
"A very good love story dealing with PTSD. Well written and engrossing starts out as an arranged marriage between a wounded soldier who became a duke and a lovely young woman. VERY steamy sex. A minor (almost pointless mystery)"

Who would true valour see, Let him come hither; One here will constant be Come wind, come weather. There’s no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent To be a pilgrim. —JOHN BUNYAN, The Pilgrim’s Progress
Every launch needs a great quest speech. . .this is a great one.

“But I was in search of love in those days, and I went full of curiosity and the faint, unrecognized apprehension that here, at last, I should find that low door in the wall, which others, I knew, had found before me, which opened on an enclosed and enchanted garden, which was somewhere, not overlooked by any window, in the heart of that grey city.”

“In not a single one of these little campaigns was I victorious. In other words, in each case, I personally failed, but I have lived to see the thesis upon which I was operating vindicated. And what I very often say is that I’ve lived to see my lost causes found.”

That's very kind of you to ask, Pam, thank you 💜 It's an anthology of short stories by students (including me) on a creative writing course taught by the folklorist Sophie Parkes. I don't think there's any plan for it to be a paperback - it's only about 70 pages and more a memento of the course.
