    Thank you, Sarah. I’m about to put it onto Amazon KDP in readiness for a short pre-order period probably at the beginning of November. Much depends on the depth of any changes I have to make.

  Thank you, Lucinda. I hope you enjoy it as much as I enjoyed writing it. I’m hoping to have it done and dusted by the end of November. It’s out with beta readers at the moment and then has to have its final edit and proofread.
