My name is Colette Smith and this is my first novel, written over the period of a year, for six months of that in Spain.
My novel is a far cry from the type of writing I have done all my life, work reports, advocacy summaries and not too long ago, essays for my Business Degree. I've always wanted to discover whether the saying ‘everyone has a book in them’ applies to me and, yes, I suppose it does. I didn't, however, understand the commitment, the faith in one’s own abilities and the sheer amount of time and energy that is required to sustain a novel, but am now geared up with one novel under my belt and enthusiasm to continue with my next book, Echoes of My Father, which I hope will be finished by the end of the year.
I hope you enjoy my writing and if you wish to comment, please do so on the comments/links page.
