I wanted to write a story where the main character could be seen as either male or female depending on the wishes or viewpoint of the reader. It seemed an interesting experiment to me to see the reactions of the readers. I’m not sure it worked as the first two people who read the book assumed without question, and didn’t notice the fact that I […]

So the last stage in publishing Herai is here. For all those potential book publishers amongst you (Experts please skip this part) this consists […]
