Managed to finish the first draft of College of Shadows - finally. Have found some proof readers who have kindly given up their time to read through it.
Many thanks to Hugo and Dan, both students who have made sure I've got the student experience right.
Monika, one of the housekeeping team who gave some really encouraging feedback when I most needed it.
Stephen, the Chapel Clerk who read it in hospital to take his mind off things.
David , a lecturer at Anglia Ruskin University who gave it a critical appraisal
And Felicia, a visiting scholar from China who gave a really helpful international perspective.
All said the same thing:
When can we read your next story?
Mmm. Maybe I'm going to have to give up the day job.
