Nay, it never gets old! Releasing a novel remains a unique experience even for someone who’s been writing stories since age 7. I’m always felt so at home with my writing & it’s always been a joy, a bit like the best friend I never had. Releasing it for public consumption has been a learning curve as it does feel a little like having your diary read! I’m still a bit amazed but very grateful for readers who enjoy my imaginings. Truly a wondrous thought that a book is just the alphabet rearranged over & over again in endless ways!
The Rose & the Thistle is one of my favorite novels that I’ve written. It may have required the most research. I truly hated writing THE END. But now it’s out there, filling reading minds &, I hope, hearts.
Thank you!
