Water's edge is with the copy editor. Gulp! Out of my hands now. #booksky #writtingcommunity

Name clash! Aghhhhh! Working through launch plans and discovery that the title clashes with another book, same genre. And he lives close to me! Oh the humanity! Anyone else hit this bump in the road? How do your change the name of your baby at the christening? #booksky #writtingcommunity

Everyone’s suddenly an AI expert. I’m not. I use it to plan vacations and replace a vacuum. I saw something and asked if I could do that. So I tried it. Writing, rewriting, deleting, refining. AL. Analog Learning. And I haven’t enjoyed anything this much in decades. #booksky #writtingcommunity

It’s the approach I’m taking with the book cover. I created a number of ideas for the mood board that the designer is using. The tools out there are great for prototyping the bits I can’t do (design etc). I need a real professional to produce the final thing.

Ah. That would be a clue. I agree. I’m going to try to get the photographer to reproduce that. The posted version is just me meeting with face tune to get ideas. Thanks

How did you know I’m English? I like in Seattle! Genre is physiological thriller. Character driven rather than overly twisty.

Not sure celebs are always this right choice. It works for me with an ensemble otherwise I like the likes of Imogen. A constraint I have is that they need an English accent.

‘You know I was sent to a boarding school?’ ‘Yes, when you were 10,’ she replies. ‘It wasn’t good. Not what you see on TV.’ He lets out a soft, inward laugh. ‘And, and we did …’ His voice is low, uncertain, but it’s the look in his eyes that unnerves her. #booksky #writtingcommunity

I'll bite Kate goes back into the kitchen and returns with a folder of takeout menus. ‘I could call the Flying Wok. Peaking Lamb?’ ‘You know it’s not called that, right?’ ‘Yes, but that’s what it is. I’ll wait an hour, then call.’ He turns on the TV and starts flicking through the channels

The book sits in the tradition of Tana French and Gillian Flynn — character-driven, morally ambiguous, concerned with memory and the unreliability of the stories we tell ourselves. The tone is quiet and cold rather than lurid.

Good luck with that. My editor is advising me that self publishing is a good first book strategy. Sacrifice your first book to get readership so that publishers can see you have a market. What do they do?

Editing horrors. You get halfway through and decide one of the pressure points has holes in it. You don't like it. Deep breath, take a break, think it through... Okay, change a few words here, a new paragraph there, cut this. And... We are good. #booksky #writingcommunity
