I am close to publishing my third novel, The Return Policy – a supernatural romantic mystery. Think of along the lines of Matt Haig’s novel ‘The Midnight Library’ meets Anthony Minghella’s movie ‘Truly, Madly, Deeply. After twenty-one months, forty-three drafts and eighty-three thousand words, I am nearly done. Over the last three months, I’ve been carrying out the final edits. This has been the most challenging of my novels as The Return Policy contains some emotive themes and I have taken care to get the right balance between drama and sensitivity.
Cover Design
I’ve also developed the cover design and blurb over the last three months. The cover design hasn’t changed much but the blurb has evolved. Here it is:
“Frank is devastated when he learns of the death of a long-lost friend, Morna, and is haunted by thoughts of a lost romance. So, shock turns to wonder when Morna returns as a spirit only he can hear.
As they rekindle their friendship, bitter regrets and tangled truths surface, and Frank finally discovers the secret that has kept Morna distant all these years.
But rewriting the past to claim the romance they never had is impossible – unless death can bend the rules.”
I’m aiming to publish in July 2026 on Amazon KDP in paperback, kindle and hardback.
