Trying to write with a coldy six year old home from school is like trying to swim through treacle; I’m exhausted, not getting anywhere, and everything is inexplicably sticky.

It’s a momentous day when the grades arrive for your MA - two years of hard work all wrapped up in a neat little digital bow. I’m so proud to have completed my MA in Crime Writing from UEA, and can’t wait to see what the future holds for my novel, The Hunters.
