Sharon
A professional engineer by training, Sharon is currently a quality, environment and sustainability manager in a large, global engineering consultancy firm. Therefore, writing a novel may seem an unlikely fit. However, Sharon’s upbringing involved moving to Belgium when she was 12 and completing all of her secondary schooling in Flemish, with French and German also… Continue reading About

I’ve had a couple of set-backs recently. First of all, I got my 6-monthly royalty payment from Arkhouse. 20% of two print-on-demand sales: NZD3.77 less Paypal transaction fees! Add to that my online sales through Amazon: 4 books with a royalty of $4.80 which I don’t get, because of Amazon’s rules. Then, to top it off,… Continue reading Failure?
I managed to write over 2,000 words this week, but somehow haven’t managed them in a single chapter. I accidentally introduced four new characters, which was handy because I’ve killed some off, and I needed some more. But I hadn’t planned on so many. This requires a bit more thinking about what their character traits… Continue reading Golden City – killing off characters
Nine chapters written–19,000 words. I reckon I’ve got ten more chapters to go (of about 2,000 words per chapter), so just under half way. At this rate (a chapter per week) I will get it written by the first week in November! That would be good. But it also means I can miss a weekend… Continue reading Golden City – another chapter down
The past few weekends I’ve managed to write a chapter each weekend. Now I’ve written eight and I reckon I’m a third of the way through the story. I’ve written 16,000 words and counting. It’s amazing (or scary) how I don’t remember what I wrote previously. I have to constantly refer back to my previous… Continue reading Golden City – challenges to solve
Over the weekend, I wrote the culmination of the first big crisis in my book (Golden City). I killed off one of my characters, and I had to blink away tears as I wrote. I guess that’s what happens when a character has been floating around in your head for 15 years–bound to get a… Continue reading I made myself cry…
TYRELIA
Loved the story line, sense of adventure. Well rounded characters. Flaws and strengths. Can’t wait for final book in series – M Watson (on Amazon)
Freya continues to develop as a hero. In this instalment, she finds herself cut off from her family, her friends and mentors. She is in a strange land – the fabled Tyrelia that no one knows anything about because the wall has blocked everyone for so many years.
At the same time her family is fighting their own battle. Freya’s parents are panicked when contact with her is lost, and Jack is becoming increasingly seduced by what the Golden City promises.
An excellent second novel, which does a great job of continuing the world building, and developing well rounded characters.
