Thank you so much! And of course, my formatter, Write into Print. I am now finally happy with the results, and I could not have done it without my editor, Laurel. And by finishing, it meant an overhaul, a thorough polishing, and scrapping out all the unnecessary bits (akin to cleaving out bits of your soul). But at the back of my mind, I knew it needed more, it needed finishing.

Many times I'd considered shelving it altogether. I have fought many internal battles trying to convince myself that this book was worth all the effort, and financial resources, I had put into it. To say it's been a frustrating, sometimes depressing ordeal getting this particular book together is an understatement. After many drafts, oh, let's round it off at seven.or was it eight, and many beta reads and edits, even a couple of rewrites, Bengaria's War finally came together into something I was happy with, my editor was happy with, and hopefully, my readers are happy with.Īfter eight years, it is now released for all the world to see. The seeds of this story actually started Christmas 2011, but it wasn't until the following year that I decided it needed to be written.
