In my latest The Accidental Debutante we're off to the circus! My heroine, lost as a child in Bath, is found by the circus & trained as a trick rider. She runs away to find her family & finds much more - friendship, love, adventure, danger - the joy in living.

Canβt they recall their own lives?
A friend left home at 16 & went to Germany as an au pair looking after kids.
My sister went inter railing around Europe at 17. At 17, I was at university.

I think Rachel McLean puts it well.
Success in publishing is the intersection of:
What you want to write
What you are good at writing
And what readers want to read.
You have hit all 3. Others need help to find that intersection.

Iβd done all that. Not one beta reader picked up the issues.
Nor did my writing group.
Donβt assume lack of success is poor craft. Sometimes itβs other things. Indie authors pay far more attention to the market. Maybe aspiring writers should too.

Disagree. My first novel didnβt get accepted. I decided to go indie. The dev editor (worked for PRH) identified 3 major flaws why itβd never get published. How else would I know this?
Agents often donβt even respond now as theyβre swamped.
I fixed it, decided against re-querying & published.

Yeah but every hardbitten journalist starts somewhere. Sometimes from a place of softness and innocence. Itβs the people who feel the outrage who change things. And the process toughens them up.

Donβt bail. Fast forward over the submarine parts. TBH nothing happens in them until near the end.
Itβs worth it if only for the Syrian. The side characters are what make the series.
