Hi Anthony,
Sorry, I didn't see your first post.
Thank you for reading Stranded. I can't find your review, just your two-star rating. Must say, your message made be hope for more!
Anyway, the answer to your question about France is that I'm living in Charente Maritime in a dusty old renovation, with the constant fear of termites! But the sun is hot and the restaurant next door formidable. My children speak fluent French and my husband loves DIY. I get to write every day. Perfect.
I've written a humorous memoir about a study trip to France when I was at university ('One Summer in France'). Another more literary title also set in France is 'A Life Lived Twice' - this doesn't contain much humour as it is a mystery/thriller set in Charente Maritime.
Your project sounds interesting. There is certainly a huge amount of non-fiction around about bombing off to France to start a new life.
Thanks for your question, it's nice to have a real one!
Best wishes,
Bev

That's easy. I just read through what I wrote the previous day and carry on. I unplug my laptop from the mains and when the battery gets low I stop writing (usually!).

My main focus at the moment is the first draft of my latest novel: Joanna Love's Stories.
I'm also in the final stages of a NA suspense (working title: Locked Away), which I intend to submit to appropriate agents in the next couple of months.

I'm always going to be an aspiring writer! Thanking people for constructive criticism is very important.

Constructing alternative realities. There are no limits on where you can go or whom you can create. Even if your characters do wake you up in the middle of the night to speak to you.
