What readers may not understand, and I fell fowl of this before I became a writer, is how much work goes into writing one book. I've spent the last three years writing, rewriting, editing, publishing and editing again, Long Lost. I have six versions of my book and have edited it three times since it was published. So I hope everyone will realise, and I will certainly be more appreciative, of the love sweat toil and many tears that go into writing a novel people will fall in love with.
