Book update – August 2024

This might make me seem like a “DM me babes” kind of girl but at this stage, I’m not ready to share everything that’s going on. I do recognise that I’ve been dangling the debut for some time. People keep asking, and it’s lovely, but the publishing industry moves at its own pace. I have to trust the process.

Right now I am working with an editor to get my book into the best form possible for publication. That means he’s ensuring I’ve spelt schmechel and schmiel correctly each time they’re brought up. It’s with surprising frequency. I am very grateful to him and the graft he’s putting in to reach the various deadlines that are now on us.

I have been writing something else that I’m really excited about. It’s too soon to tell all, unless you ask, but it’s different… while still being in the same timeline. Put it this way, E keeps asking why I’ve ordered “more Nazi books”. They are very much for research and are donated when I’m done.

For now, I wanted to give a big shout out to my writing group, my partner, my family, Antony Fahy and my agent for the varied and various conversations we have had in recent weeks on this. It’s slowly getting there and I am very, very excited. Stay tuned.
