Kia ora, thanks for your messages re Too Many Cooks – yes, I like Hester too and she won’t be disappearing completely. My plan is to write a trilogy about characters who live on Vogel Place and so the characters who live there will appear as a major character in one novel and reappear as not so major in another. Hester though will always be one of the main characters because all three novels will have the production of a play as one of its elements.

The next novel is called Once Bitten and the first chapter will be up on WednesdayBusk around the end of September – I will let you know the exact date soon.

In the meantime there will still be a poem every Wednesday, a Writers Talk and a blog. Too Many Cooks will be available in chapter form for free until Once Bitten goes up after which it will be available as an ebook only. So if you want to read it free all over again right from the start you’ve got a month.
