Yay...copy edits are in!!!

YAY - Copy edits are in, and yes, I'm about THIS happy.....lovely feedback too from copy editor....so I may just treat myself to a chocolate donut!!

"Another stupendous novel….and what a tangled web of lies and deceit Louise has woven, and indeed, what a marvellous and talented storyteller she is - Gripping, compelling, absorbing, and so much more."

Phew!

The end is near!!!

I came back from holidays on Wednesday and got straight into copy edits for THE GAME CHANGER. I completed them this evening. The journey of writing this novel has been an emotional one and there were moments when I despaired if it would ever get close to the aspirations I had for it at the start.

A friend of mine read it last week and loved it, and then the copy editor used words like magnificent, gripping, absorbing, compelling, terrifying, saying it was a tour de force, and that love, suspense, atmospheric backdrops, the effects of psychological trauma, and a mesmerising plot, added to it being brilliant. Don't worry, none of this has gone to my head, and like most writers, I will still worry about writing it better, but the end of the process is near and that is emotional.

And, here is the opening quote of the novel ...... 

"When we step into the family, by the act of being born, we step into a world which is incalculable, into a world which has its own strange laws, into a world which could do without us, into a world we have not made. In other words, when we step into the family, we step into a fairy-tale."
