I've just finished final edits of my second novel, Nothing Ventured. There's always a mixture of feelings I have after completing a novel. Relief is definitely the first one but there's also a tinge of sadness mixed in with the happiness. It's almost a sense of loss in a way. The story is done, the characters have completed their journey and, chances are, I won't be seeing them again.

My plan has always been to publish this in November and I'm sticking to that. I'll prepare the formats of the novel for eReaders and a physical copy but I'm also going to send it out to some literary agents next week too, to see if I can get any of them interested in it.

Once that is done it'll be time to return to a bit of employed work. I need to get myself back onto the property ladder again after three and a half years off of it!

Of course a first draft of book 3 is also waiting for me too. I think I hear it calling...
