I'd got to the end of the manuscript and thought, 'I can do this.' (Lots of editing and feedback from professionals came after that - helping to make the book so much better.) But it was when I'd finished that first draft that I felt like a writer. Until I'd finished it, I was just 'having a go.' Hope that makes sense! Lorna xx(less)
Lorna Cook Yes indeed. Book two is out in June where the Trelenna secrets continue to be uncovered. This time it’s with Zennor’s story.
