In pursuit of my burning desire to get a new post up, and also in the hope that sharing something work-in-progress from my novel will in-turn launch me back onto the writing train that I was riding so fancifully before, I’ve decided to share a small snippet from my current draft of Chapter 1. Key word here is draft. Draft, draft, draft!

There’s still a long way to go with my debut novel, but I thought it would be a fun idea to start sharing some brief snippets of the world and characters that have been living in my head (and more recently on paper) for a long time now. First up, we have Monika Olsson (otherwise known as The Governess).
