We've no plans for a sequel, but it's wonderful to know that you cared enough about Paul, Lorna & co to want to know what happened next. My next book, IN ANOTHER TIME, is another story set in Scotland during WW2, and will be out next August though, so hopefully that will interest you too. /book/show/3...

Thanks again for getting in touch, and apols again for taking to so long to find it!

Here are three thoughts:

1 If you are only just thinking about writing, then stop thinking, and start writing! No one can read a story you haven’t written yet.

2 Quite a lot of what you write in a first draft will be rubbish/garbage. That’s a simple fact that every writer will acknowledge. But if you try to stop to correct or beautify it before moving on , you will be throwing away valuable time, energy and confidence. Turn off your inner editor and carry on to the end of the story. Then you can start revising (and revising and revising) and polishing to add the beauty and the shine.

3 Find some writing friends (see my answer on the best things about being a writer!) � whether it’s online or in person, you need to find other writers, aspiring or further down the path, to give you advice, support and a sounding board. These other writers are not simply your contacts, they need to be your friends too, otherwise writing is going to be a very lonely business.

Critique Group Cheerleading


Several years ago, while I was still very much a wannabe writer with barely one badly-drafted novel to my name, a dear friend here in Houston, Andrea White, invited me to join her in a new critique group with another of her friends, Chris Cander. Andrea was already a published YA author (SURVIVING ANTARCTICA, WINDOW BOY, RADIANT GIRL) and Chris had just self-published her first literary novel Read more of this blog post »

“And if he was kind and friendly and funny, and if he told you about places so beautiful that you wanted to go with him to see them, and if he listened to you talk like he actually cared about what you were saying?
And if he tried to protect you when other people tried to tell you what to do, as if they owned you? And if he has the handsomest face you've ever seen, no matter if the skin has been damaged, because he's just lovely even so?”
Caroline Leech, Wait for Me

“I thought I lost you"
"You will never lose me." Paul kissed the top of her head. "And even if I have to leave, you must know that I will come back to you again. If you'll wait for me?”
Caroline Leech, Wait for Me

“One day, Lorna, I will dance this waltz with you again.”
