From one writer to another, thoughts on both the creative and publishing process. I finally opted for self-publishing after the painfully recorded (at this blog) futile two-year agent-search. Four novels published including Hafan Deg, published last month (available at Amazon and most outlets, including eBooks). Will let you know what's happening with "A Kind of Winnowing" from time to time...

I'm So Brave
The following is just a tiny book-jacket kind of blurb about it, so that you know what to expect.
Karen Miles is a successful London book editor, a single mother in her early fifties. She seems to have it all, good income, beautiful London apartment, regular travel, the occasional man, and adult children she is proud of. Yet she is not happy and her days are becoming more and more deadening. Something is missing from her life, and she sets out to discover what this is. A derelict house in North Wales, an area where she and the children vacationed many years earlier, becomes the catalyst for her transformation.
