Writing of my next novel, ‘Dead Snow’, is going very well and I hope to complete the first draft by New Year’s Eve.

It is a coincidence that my first book, ‘An End of Beginnings’ was completed on New Year’s Eve 2015. That one took 5 years to complete – this one will have taken 18 months, although the bulk of the writing has been done in the last few months, once AEOB was out of the way.

51,000 words are down on paper and I’m aiming for around 75k, so that’s a target of around 25k in 5 weeks – 5,000 words per week – “doable”, as they say, but I will definitely have to dig in…!
