The Boat of Small Mysteries is finished!
Hurray! I’ve finished the first (content) edit on my narrowboat novel, The Boat of Small Mysteries, which means that it’s definitely been moved into the category of ‘book that will get published this year. Probably this month, tbh.’
This is a Robyn Beecroft novel. Cozy? Check. Mysteries? Yes, small ones. And a lot of detail on narrowboat life that will appeal to the folks who watch the Narrowboat Diaries on TV, and follow Cruising the Cut or other narrowboaters on YouTube
I’ve just got to go through it a couple times more to pick up anything I missed this time, make it some cover-art and remember how to compile it into a proper novel. (This may take me some time as I’ve had seven years to forget how it’s done.)
It’s a short novel at 53K, but that’s not bad going from something I planned out as a 30K novella. I always write long, but at least now I’m never surprised by it.
