Well, this is it–I’m finally admitting that I’m working on a novel. A number of my friends already knew this, so strictly speaking, it was never really much of a secret. But now that I’m putting the news out there in the blogosphere, my endeavour has instantly become so much more serious than it was before. And I’m glad–it’s time that I gave Virginia’s Ghost the attention I need to. It’s time to start bringing this book out of the shadows. In between editing books for clients, I’ve been obsessing about my novel, waking up in the middle of the night with new ideas about how to handle a scene, or with new details that fill out a character. If you write, you probably are familiar with these nocturnal flashes of inspiration.

As you’ll no doubt assume from the title, Virginia’s Ghost features a spirit. There’s no need to be afraid, however, as she’s not the kind of ghost that inspires fear. In fact, she’s rather sad and sweet, and she looks like Louise Brooks. I’m not prepared to give more than that away just yet. But please stay tuned for updates on my progress with Virginia’s Ghost.
