I have a novel that is simmering on the back burner for a number of years. Think Rachael Treasure meets Wolf Creek. Female protagonist who is a right nasty piece of work. Sex, violence, revenge , mental health issues and black humour in a rural setting. I just don't know if I have the energy to either finish it or pitch it.
Thank you again for your words of encouragement. Marg xxx
