Where am I today? In a place I never thought I would be. Is
this the end of me as a writer? These are questions buzzing around in my head
since I have been unable to sustain one of my novels. I have three at 25,000
words and can’t seem to get past that.
Actually I can feel physically sick when I think about doing
some work. It’s a new feeling for me because I have been known to have three
books on the go. Why does it happen? Who knows for sure? I read of lots of
cures but none of them work.
It stems I think from losing John, my husband and friend. He
was always my inspiration; he would never allow me to not write. And it was
great to be able to talk to him about plots and characters. Alone now there is
no one to bounce ideas off. Lots of friends but it just isn’t the same. My
dread moment comes when someone asks me “What are you working on at the
moment,” and I have nothing to say!
My last novel The Flowers Girls has proven popular but it
was the first book I wrote on my own without John’s encouragement. I can do

Review – The Flower Girls by Margaret Blake, published by
Whiskey Creek Press.
“An intriguing tale – an emotion-packed romantic suspense
that will keep you guessing. Mystery, suspects aplenty, secrets, adultery,
murder, passion and love intertwine to give readers a captivating read. Ms
Blake’s skilful prose puts reader right into the midst of her story and I for
one, am interested in seeing what she comes up with next.
