Editing, Plotting, and a New Hobby
I'm tackling structural edits on my new book while working out what the next book's going to be about - but in the meantime I've discovered a new hobby and I'm loving it!
I'm Sharon, a hybrid author of thirty-two published books. My latest book, Hope Blooms in Tuppenny Bridge, was published on 18th October 2024 with Storm Publishing. I'm currently working on the first book in a new series for Boldwood Books.

    I'm up along the Scottish seacoast and taking the long way around is alway so much more interesting. I don't mind a first draft. I write petty clean but my issue is the 30,000 word mark. By 30,000 I am over it all 😂 and want to move on to the next project. I definetly have the "something shinny caught my eye" syndrome. 👏🏼😉
