The novels
Grace is currently editing her second novel, Cathy’s Field, which she began writing when on her Creative Writing MA at Bath Spa University.
Her first novel, The Wish Bone, is completed and currently in the bottom drawer. Through writing this novel she has learned more than enough about rejection, resilience and letting go as well as how to edit and write novels. There is always more to learn.
