Farewell Trip and onwards






And so here we are. Carina UK has published our novel and it currently nestles inside the top 5000 in the Amazon best-seller charts! To infinity and beyond.

Early feedback has been lovely. I can't help but think it's only a matter of time till the naysayers and trolls arrive. Still, who cares? Some people I respect greatly have said how much they enjoyed it and how well written it was. That's enough for me.

For “two real writers awaiting validation” it feels like the end of the journey, or the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning, or something. I'm fairly sure TS Eliot and Churchill put it better.

So we've decided to change the title of the blog, as you'll see. We feel validated and a big thank you to everyone who made that possible.

Instead let's get on with being real writers. Which as best as I can work out means moaning incessantly about a writer's life – problem publishers, absent editors, the lack of sales, the fake smiling at the success of others, the whole creative process, darling.

Can't wait...

  1. I didn't know TS Elliot and Churchill were friends - unlikely bedfellows
