This morning I woke up a message from a stranger. And, in the parlance of the day, it's giving me all the feels.
It's a message from a reader who enjoyed reading The Tuppenny Child, my second novel set in 1919 in a northeast pit village and published by Headline.
The C word (Cookson) is mentioned again and, again, I felt nervous. Why? Find out here.
The comparison to Maeve Binchy sits more easily with me and I can only hope that I write with as much warmth and compassion as she did, she was one of my favourite authors. Although I never claim - or try - to write like anyone else, it's absolutely fantastic that the reader saw a connection.
I'm made up.
