I can see it taking a lot longer. Too much research.

If I had a wife, I might be able to manage two a year as well. For now, I'll settle for one a year and all of the housework.<BR/><BR/>So far no nibbles from Britain. Penguin are batting on my behalf. I don't have an agent. So no six figure advances, yet.Vanda Symonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956034768397598056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219735658025200238.post-88504457465953726382008-06-17T12:49:00.000+12:002008-06-17T12:49:00.000+12:00From the independent: "Crime and thrillers are goi...From the independent: "Crime and thrillers are going through big popularity at the moment." Apparently if you can churn out two a year the publishers in the UK love you. Do you have any UK bites?Rachael Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07690377694600952816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219735658025200238.post-15826768068202077592008-06-14T11:22:00.000+12:002008-06-14T11:22:00.000+12:00Thanks Mary, you're lovely!If I have even a slice ...Thanks Mary, you're lovely!<BR/><BR/>If I have even a slice of the success Paul Cleave has had in Germany, I'll be a happy girl.<BR/><BR/>I might be able to afford that new computer then...Vanda Symonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09956034768397598056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9219735658025200238.post-26990082977563437512008-06-13T20:23:00.000+12:002008-06-13T20:23:00.000+12:00Hi Vanda.

But, no, diluent you are not. <BR/><BR/>You are a Vanda machine... working on your THIRD novel, a GERMAN translation of Novel no. 1 out soon, and mother to YOUNG children? <BR/><BR/>Bloody hell. <BR/><BR/>Before you know where you are you'll be both rich and famous in Germany. Paul Cleave has made a (ahem) killing over there with his crime fiction. Next stop Vanda Symon. <BR/><BR/>'Proud', however, proud is good. <BR/><BR/>Take care.Mary McCallumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07482261103185786111noreply@blogger.com
