Been so busy, hard to remember when I last sat and read stuff as I wanted to. Had some time out of the country helping start a school in Africa. That was fun, but fraught. Now I'm already up to 44,000 words for the national novel Writing Contest... write 50,000 words in 30 days (November)... my aim is 100,000 words. It's called IN THE SHADOWS and is a thriller based on a real event that took place NEW YORK in 1933. It has some fanatical Nazis trying to recreate a future based on the past, an English girl trying to solve an eighty year old murder mystery and a dying man who is given a new future..... mix together and stir well ... should be a good one!

If anyone is doing similar, then my writing name for the contest is Tanya J, based in London, UK. Drop me a line and we could Buddy up.

I really must finish the many books I've already got backlogged on my files.

MORE HOURS IN THE DAY AND MORE DAYS IN THE WEEK......PLEASE!

He ho, back to the keyboard to get up to 45,000 by bedtime.
