I always say he first 20,000 words are the hardest! Then its the next 20,000 :)Good luck with it!
I write fantasy adventure for children and adults. I've got a book that'll be coming out in the UK and the US next year called 'The Gypsy Crown' - about Gypsy kids in the time of Oliver Cromwell - and I've got a fantasy series for adults called 'the Witches of Eileanan'.Your book sounds like just my cup of tea! Are you very far along?
