Getting the sister novel out
Exciting times. Well actually, it’s sister novel, The House on Schellberg Street, that has
been accepted. So far, I’ve had some encouraging noises form the main editor.
The nitty-gritty is yet to come.
Now, though, I’m working
on all sorts of things – getting the web site up and running, thinking about a launch,
approaching people who might sell it and getting a few school visits organised.

Somehow, Clara’s Story becomes part and parcel of
this.
As do the two
blogs – this and the one about The House
on Schellberg Street.
School visits and workshops
I’m particularly interested
in doing school visits and talks about these two slightly different Holocaust stories.
I’m also preparing an interactive workshop about The House on Schellberg Street and as soon as Clara’s Story is ready, there’ll be one about that also.
Lecture on Representing the Holocaust
I’m also busily preparing
a couple of lectures for a course I’ll be teaching on at the University of Salford
next year. I’ll be dealing with how I did my research and the ethical issues I’ve
had to face in dealing with this material. The content for just one lecture and
seminar might make a substantial part of a secondary book to go with this
material. Rather like this blog now has almost 11,000 words.
Meanwhile the editing continues
I’m almost at the
end of the first rewrite. Literally just one scene to go, albeit a rather
tricky one. Then I’ll be on to Edit 2.
