Welcome to WIPs

I have created this new blog in order to post excerpts from my works-in-progress (wips) and also to keep track of what I'm going. It's like a semi-public showcase and tracker. I will also use it to record the process of writing my next work which I hope is going to be a fairly research intensive book telling the story of my mum's seven years spent at Brockhall home for the 'mentally subnormal' in Lancashire during the sixties as well as a wider story of her life. And besides, we're living in a new media world now and in for a penny, in for a pound and all that. I haven't yet decided from which wip I'll post first, but more soon.
