Hannah Byron That's a good question but also a difficult one. You could try to run an Facebook advertisement to the French audience, or you could try to reach French Booktokers on TikTok if you have an account there. I don't have translations (yet) so I suppose I'm not the right person to ask! Wishing you lots of luck.
Hannah Byron Oh, that's an intriguing question. Probably that my great-grandparents, who were forbidden to marry each other due to class differences, still tied the knot after being kept apart for 11 years, while their son (my grandfather) had been raised as his mother's brother by my great-great grandparents.
Hannah Byron I love Paris, where I was born, so I wanted the book to be - mostly situated there - but I also wanted to describe the dilemma of the medical profession in a war. Is it allowed for a doctor to have a soldier's heart, that is to kill the enemy when your actual job is to keep everyone alive?
Hannah Byron Reading other books, meditating, listening to the wild stories in my head and penning them down.
Hannah Byron The 3rd book in The Resistance Girl Series, called The Parisian Spy. A WWII novel to be published in early spring 2021.
Hannah Byron Learn the craft. Don't expect anything grand until you've written 1 million words (it's possible but not likely). Keep going, do creative writing courses, read non-fiction on the craft and fiction in your genre(s)
Hannah Byron Adding beautiful stories to the world and have readers enjoy them.
Hannah Byron It depends. Sometimes I let a story gist for a while and don't force myself to write every day although I feel I have to. Other times I set a timer and just write. Just as every day is different in my writer's life, being able to write also fluctuates but I always return to the page.
