Welcome to my irregular update of how things are going in my life. It wasn't meant to be a weather update, but I'm British and it's in my contract to mention that... wow! we're having a bit of a heatwave. Not an official one, but the temperatures have been up around 26/27C which is hot for September. On Friday I was writing in the garden because I could not spend a moment longer in the house. It was glorious and I got so much done.
I'm also refreshing Our Beautiful Child for a republishing date later this year. I say refreshing, but really I'm slashing it to pieces. I didn't mean to, but once I started to clean things up, make a couple of interactions a little more mindful of post #metoo sensibilities, remove or rename a few of the characters, and change the order of the three novellas in the collection, it's become almost a brand new book. Hopefully, by November (with my fingers crossed), the collection will be out with a new title, a new cover, and a smoother read.
“I loved the mystery surrounding Zenna. It’s sort of creepy but in a good way. The writing style is lyrical, accessible, and totally gripping. Excellent novel.” “You get to know Jo so well in this story. Loved all the suspense and trying to work out what was going on with Zenna. This is a story of lost memory, slow awakenings and, above all, suspense.” “The writing style is easy to follow, the plot is complex – but not too complex. Possibly ‘clever’ is a better word to describe the plot! But it’s the protagonist who steals the show! I thought Jo was fascinating, her art, her memory loss, her way of looking for answers. All in all, a wonderful story I’d recommend to readers who enjoy smartly-plotted novels.” “The story unravels in a smart, evenly paced way.” Huge thank you to everyone who read my novel, and helped to organise the awards - they are a fantastic way to raise awareness of the brilliance of small and independently published books . If so, you might be interested to know that my short story collection That Sadie Thing is available through KU! With thirty-one 5⭐ reviews on Goodreads, and a 4.51 average rating, people seem to like it.

After what has felt like forever, my first-born novella is finally refreshed, rewritten (just a little) and on sale again. And for the first time, it's available in paperback. Here's what a few people are saying: "Beautiful prose takes us to the heart of this sensitive topic with an ending that made me question everything I'd read before." - Anne Goodwin, author of Lyrics for the Loved Ones "Annalisa Crawford has such a gift for twining the supernatural and surreal into reality so you don’t know which is which, a method that brings out the haunting nature of human nature. Eerie, yet wildly beautiful." - Martha Engber, author of Bliss Road "Readers with a preference for character-oriented literary fiction ... will relish the poignant experience and the hopeful ending." - Rosh Reviews |
