I often have several writing projects on the go. Firstly, because I’m not disciplined enough, secondly, because sometimes things simply must be written, and finally, if I get stuck for any reason or don’t think a story line is working, I can clear my mind by taking it somewhere else. Here’s a selection of what’s on the go at the moment.
Not If You Paid Me
This will be the ninth Meredith & Hodge novel. It’s a slow mover mainly due to things going on around me, and not the story itself, but it is moving along, albeit slowly. Hopefully it will be out late June 2020
An Unexpected Turn of Events
I wrote a series of very short stories for a writers workshop many years ago, all of which were character driven. I 
liked some of the characters, decided to expand on them, and possibly publish a collection of short stories. However, one thing lead to another, and they will all become part of a Murder/Mystery after – yes – an unexpected turn of events. The murder has happened, they were all there, I now need to pull it all together and work out exactly whodunit?
The Waiting Room
In addition to the above, I’m co-writing a radio script with my sister Sharon Kelly. We are telling the story of a child given up for adoption, and not being reunited with her siblings until her fifties – sound familiar? It’s told from the viewpoint of the child’s two mothers.
A first for me, and I’m thoroughly enjoying it. Being radio it is all about the dialogue and that is perfect for me, as I love exploring the way people speak, and how they react to situations verbally. I’m not sure how long this will take, as we are both working on other projects too, I’m guessing it will probably the end of the year before we have the finished article.
