OK… I know I announced with great excitement that ‘Loving Judah’ would be coming out tomorrow… Well, there’s no easy way to announce a late arrival, even if you work for British Rail (as was!) Maybe rather than late, I should say delayed, I’m sure that’s what railway announcers do!
OK, so ‘Loving Judah’ will be coming out on November 5th – and we’ll be having some fireworks to celebrate!
It’s taken me longer than I expected to edit, and I want to make sure it as good and correct as I can make it, knowing how eagle-eyed my readers are for spotting typos and errors! Also, as I’ve mentioned before, through editing and re-editing, certain themes have emerged as stronger than I realised, and I want to polish them and refine them properly!
My dad Donald always used to say ‘There’s no good spoiling the ship for a ha’porth of tar’… and so it is here, I’ve just bought a ha’porth of tar and I’m getting ready to launch – on November 5th!

This happened to me when I was editing my book. I had set the publication date, but as it drew near I realised there was no way I could finish on time! It’s always better to push back a date than publish an incomplete work. Good luck with all your edits. =]
