In this season of The Writer's Help Desk, I'm taking you Behind the Scenes so you can see the processes that I used to get from idea to published with my up-and-coming novel The Rose A Reality TV Romance.

There are lots of things I learnt, things that worked really well, that I use now when I'm writing my new books. There are things I would do differently, too.

In episode 4 I delve into editing, when to know when to stop, the psychology of getting published, and one BIG lesson I learnt along the way.

This season takes you inside my life, a sneak peek at what was going on life-wise in my world as I wrote The Rose, and gives you some encouragement that you can do it too!
