After years of uncertainty Regret Horizon, the first in the Memoirs series Outside the Frame, is in final edits. Publication as an ebook, paperback and hardback is expected in September 2025.
Regret Horizon was originally titled A Dying Year. It tells the story of the period leading up to and following the death of my mother and my ex-husband during three weeks in October 2008, and the struggles this created within my previously fairly functional family. In some of my earlier blog posts I describe some of the surprising problems which occurred as I tried to move towards the end of the book. Around 70,000 words in length, it will appear in mid-late 2021. The cover design above is still in draft. My deepest gratitude to brilliant Western Australian photographer Jordan Cantelo who took the ocean horizon photograph which is the basis for the book cover.
