Hi Sandy,
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you- this is the first time anyone has ever asked me anything on here- it's quite exciting! Normally I don't scroll down my page far enough to see these, but fortunately today I did :)
Deborah is my first attempt at writing, and its the first episode of what will hopefully be at least a trilogy- though it might take more than three books to get to where we're going.
From start to finish it took me four years write- three years of pottering about with it, and one year of 'if-I'm going-to-do-this-then-I-need-to-get-serious' type effort.
I suppose I thought I'd write one and see if anyone would actually want to read more. So far people who have read it seem to like it quite a bit, but as is probably true of most first time authors, the VAST majority of those people are people who know me. The challenge is how to get strangers to take a gamble on some guy they've never heard of. (My last giveaway on here boosted sales by 2! so not exactly a massive success :) )
So that's quite a long answer with quite a bit of info you may or not be at all interested in! Sorry- again, its the first question I've been asked, so I may have got a bit over excited. Thanks for getting in touch anyway, and if you have read it, or ever decide to give Deborah a whirl-then thank-you, and it'd be great to hear what you think of it :)
