Well, I have finished the rough draft and 2nd draft. It is now with a Beta reader. So, now I’m going away for a week to relax and then come back and attack it again.
I am, of course, referring to the prequel to the Beaufort’s Landing series, which explains a couple of things about Xelma’s character and her past. Like all of us, she is a complicated creature and this novella (about 60 Pages) explores that, a bit. It is not a ‘whodunnit’ but there is criminal activity, murder and mayhem. All of the action takes place in Brisbane, (where I lived from about 10 years old to 20 yrs.) but ends up with Xelma moving to Townsville region.
I do have a dilemma, however, the title. The above cover is a work in progress what do you think of it? Now, please help me decide on the title…
- Coming Home OR 2. Becoming Xelma
I have a stack of things to do before I choo-choo off south, so if you’ll excuse me…
