I'm editing my delivery draft - posting to show how. Below: the thread about writing the book. Now the edit. This week I removed 2 characters & added a subplot. 'There's too much gossip,' said my editor (who LOVES gossip) but I'd gone overboard. + we changed the title to The Counterfeit Affair. Hi.
I'm all about the big picture edits this week over on Facebook: 👇

Shocks me every time I turn this corner. Never getting over the fire.

Messing about on boats can be chilly (even on sunny days) so I bought this scarf from a women-led collective. I was v pleased with myself cos the colour suits my tan. Himself kept grinning too. Eventually he told me it's Greenock Morton colours. FFS. 😂
This came up in my conversation with @sarasheridan.bsky.social - apparently some people are dismissive of historical fiction, and I'm like "but historical *has all the genres!*"

Feel like I made the right choice then.
Holiday report so far from Malta over on FB today: facebook.com/sheridanwrit...
Honestly wasn't expecting this on my holiday. GAWD.
It obvs works as a shagging method cos there are lots of wee ducklings just now. BUT OMG. Might need to relocate breakfast to avoid the potential duckicide. 😂🦆 PS there's a chic white duck that keeps jumping onto the jetty & pretending to be asleep. Quite right, madam.
This is the murderous mallard btw. 'What do you mean?' I said, trying to shoo him off. Turns out, Himself was right, of course. I've been right down the How Ducks Shag rabbit-hole for a day now. There are, it turns out, renegade drakes who've been known to try to drown chickens.
