I can't make a living at my passion (newspaper reporting) or I'd still be doing it. But I've been seduced by good treatment, a decent living wage, benefits and regular days off. I have an elderly dog to keep in medication, and a mortgage to make. I had read the first six Calamity Jayne books and was sad when I couldn't find more. So glad to see you've been able to continue. Know what I'll be buying soon - more of your books!
