It’s a really exciting opportunity to flex the writing muscles, isn’t it, Rena? And thanks for the link!

Yes, you’re right, Sally. What I really love about these new categories is the scope it gives us to do something different. Can’t wait to get started on my detective murder mystery. It’s also great that PF pocket novels are not changing. The gentle family-type dramas will be a nice foil for MW’s new racier stuff. Rena x
