October 2023 and I have finally been accepted into the Goodreads author programme after a year of trying! Still, as my agent advised me, time has no importance in the literary world, wise words indeed from Emerantia Parnell-Gilbert of the Gilbert Literary Agency.

So it is of no importance really that it was a mere 9 years ago that the concept for my debut novel came to me and that it wasn't going to be for another 7 years that Pharos Books of India would offer me a traditional publishing contract, and a year later I would hold a copy of my novel.

My ascent up a veritable mountain has been a long one but I will continue to climb it, knowing that my 2nd work is with my publisher and my 3rd is being written.

NO EXAGGERATION is hard hitting, holding no punches as it is based on a true story - MINE! I welcome your reviews, warts and all! Will you join me on my journey?
