My very vacant mind

Welcome to my blog, where I attempt to document my efforts to write a novel or two and also to edit them, with overall aim to perhaps get published one day. I am currently working on two novels. I have just completed the first draft of my historical fiction novel 'The stepmother' which I will be editing in the new year. I am also working on a new historical novel with the working title of "the orphan princess".
