I’m a bit late in announcing this, but my debut novel THE EDGE has now been translated into Czech! Czech speakers can learn more and get a copy of SRÁZ here. Translation rights have been one of my favourite things about being a published author. Every so often I’ll get an email from my agentContinue reading “SRÁZ – THE EDGE Comes to Czechia!”

ABGRUND – THE EDGE Goes German!
I’ve been sitting on this news for over a year and a half, but I can finally say it: my debut novel THE EDGE is being translated into German as ABGRUND, and it publishes in July! A Well-Kept Secret Back in August of 2021, I was outside repainting the summerhouse and listening to Taylor SwiftContinue reading “ABGRUND – THE EDGE Goes German!”
THE EDGE is an Amazon First Read!
I’m thrilled, amazed, baffled, and terrified to reveal that my debut novel THE EDGE is included in this month’s Amazon First Reads selection for the UK and Australia! 1st November has been my release date for a long, long time. As I’ve discussed on this blog many times before, publishing is a long, slow slogContinue reading “THE EDGE is an Amazon First Read!”
THE EDGE, Publishing November!
In my last post, I was heading off on submission for the first ever time with my psychological thriller I’M HERE FOR YOU, and I didn’t know what the outcome would be. Would any editors want to see the full novel? Would I get an offer? Would I be going back out on submission withContinue reading “THE EDGE, Publishing November!”
On Submission
I’m pretty sure I ended my last post with the promise of posting another very soon — and then in true Lucy style, didn’t post again for two years. I never mean to do this. As I’ve mentioned before, I’m a socially anxious girl and blog posts often feel like the online equivalent of runningContinue reading “On Submission”
That One Yes
Querying literary agents is often a slog, lasting multiple years and multiple manuscripts, generating dozens, hundreds, maybe even thousands of rejections — but in the end, you only need one agent to love your book. That’s it. One query, one agent, and one yes. Well, two months ago, I got that yes. I am incredibly happy toContinue reading “That One Yes”
Limbo
As I wrote in my last post, Just Press Send, I’ve taken the first step in my publishing journey and started querying: sending my work out to literary agents in the hope that one of them will want to represent me as a writer. While there are other routes to getting a novel in printContinue reading “Limbo”
Just Press Send
On Friday morning I sat in bed with various empty chocolate wrappers around me and two dozen drafted emails on my laptop screen. After years of work on THE GIRL YOU LEFT BEHIND, I was finally ready to go: book completed, literary agents researched, queries typed, email addresses copied, and files attached. There was nothingContinue reading “Just Press Send”
The End
A lot has changed in my life in the past three years, but there’s been one constant: my novel, The Girl You Left Behind. It’s been my shadow, growing and evolving from a dream-inspired scrawl in a notebook to a first draft, a second, a third, a fourth, and now, finally, into a finished product. ForContinue reading “The End”
