Their accounts of their own journey towards success and their tips about perseverance make the goal of publication seem more attainable. xJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-36346227742625673772012-07-19T02:21:23.824-07:002012-07-19T02:21:23.824-07:00Morning, Joanna - many thanks for your very though...Morning, Joanna - many thanks for your very thoughtful comment. The Incomers is a really good read. <br /><br />I remember you mentioning the 60s a while ago and hoped you would see this interview!

I love the sound of The Incomers and I also love Moira's positive approach to getting published. It makes me feel more confident about my novel, which, being set in 1967, also features a small thread relating to the party-line. Like Moira, I found myself delving into more research than I imagined I would do when I began writing it. I've looked at the history and culture of another country, in my case it was Germany, far more than was the original intention.<br /><br />Moira's acount of her full and happy lifestyle is really motivating. And I'd forgotten how much I like peppermint tea. I think I'll take that up again. I'm far too addicted to coffee these days!<br /><br />I so enjoyed really this and will love reading the book.Joannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.com
