Write life

 Hi there!

Today, I think I’ll talk about one of the unexpected twists in my life as a writer, specifically, in regards to finishing off the 3rd and final novel in my “A Spy’s Memory” series.

I’m almost at the half-way point of my third book, and my second is patiently waiting for me to finish writing the third, and for my betas to finish reading it. You’d expect that I’m utterly delighted to be so near finishing my first ever trilogy right? Well… that is true in part, but the other part of me is actually dreading it. 

Have you ever watched a long-standing tv show, or read a book series and got so attached to the characters that you were upset by the idea that it may end, that you would no longer be able to visit that world, those characters who feel so much like old friends? Well, it turns out that it’s no easier when you’re the writer. My characters are real to me, and I’ve visited with them and watched them grow for so long now… that the idea of saying goodbye to them is difficult to face.

I do have plenty of ideas for other books, one for a series, and many for standalone novels. And it is true, that it will be wonderful to write about, and experience new people, and new worlds, with new rules. But saying goodbye to my old friends, to the friends from my first ever novel, from the first book I actually finished writing since I was maybe 12 years old? It’s going to be very hard.

Thanks for the read!
