Me in 2005 with a novel I’d written and a blanket I’d knitted

I said last week that I couldn’t remember what an old WIP called My OK! Life was about or if I ever finished it.

I’ve since found scraps of it and realised I reimagined it as All I Want for Christmas, a novella I wrote for Hot Key Books that was most recently republished under a pseudonym as Sleigh Ride (in a collection with two other Christmas novellas not written by me).

The extract over the cut contains comments from my crit partner at the time and some absolute blatant joke-stealing by me.
