One of our Writercon regulars has had a book published!
I do hope that all is well with you and your loved ones.
I thought you might be interested to hear that one of our Writercon regulars, lilachigh, has had a book published -- planned as the first of a series of ten! -- which is available for pre-order at Amazon. The book is called 'The Cousins of Pemberley: Cassandra' and it's published under lilachigh's real name. lilachigh says: "Actual publication date is 23rd December, but you are allowed to order the e-book now. Just type in the title in Amazon Books and it appears. I am beyond excited!"
Here's the blurb from Amazon's website:
Many years have passed since the dramatic events of Pride and Prejudice. In The Cousins of Pemberley series we follow a new generation of heroines - cousins with lives as different and interesting as those enjoyed by their mothers.
Cassandra: Cassandra Wickham, daughter of a flirt and a scoundrel, an innocent abroad in a world where money can buy you anything, even a bride.
When danger threatens and the man she thought she could rely on fails her, there is only one place she can turn to for help - Pemberley. Surely the Darcys will protect her, no matter what happened in the past to divide the two families?
lilachigh's own post about it can be seen here.
...
As for Writercon itself, I'm thinking that, assuming this new sort of stick-your-fingers-in-your-ears-and-pretend-it's-all-back-to-normal normality is still operating early next year, we should start in February/March with a blank slate, decide whether we want to try holding an event in Coventry or, perhaps, doing it online instead, and take it from there?
