I have now written those inimitable words, The End. I didn’t want to push my luck when I was getting close but now, tis done. My current novel is a stand-alone sequel to The 9:45 To Bletchley, Ena Dudley’s story and the fourth novel in my Dudley Sisters’ Saga. This novel is a spy thriller, working title Cold Case, set in the 1950s, early in the cold war. I hit 80k plus words while I was on retreat in Fishguard, adding 10k to that this week. I am now editing and expect to lose 5k words tightening and cutting what my mentor calls, ‘the guff.’ Off to do some editing right write now.

Ena Dudley’s wartime story.
Well done, Maddie. Admire your commitment & tenacity!
