Dear Margaret,
ReplyDeleteI wonder if you would be willing to read and review my debut novel The Dress Thief. Like you, I was drawn into the world of books by Enid Blyton. For me, the middle ground between Enid and 'grown up' books were the detective novels my mother brought home in armfuls from the library. Most of them had yellow covers and slanted, violet titles. I started writing at about the age of seven, and seriously in my early twenties. It took until my 50s to get the elusive agent and publishing deal. If you think you'd like to read The Dress Thief, I'll send you a copy. It's no longer on NetGalley.
Best regards
Natalie
