My lovely publishers, Bloodhound Books have presented me with an exciting early Christmas present by selling the rights to my novel, The Victim, to a German publisher!
I'm delighted with the news and look forward to next year, 2025 to see my novel for sale in Germany.
Two Firsts
November presented two amazing new opportunities for me. The first was being the guest of Adrian and Rebecca from Hobeck Books on their podcast. Conversation flowed freely and this wonderful couple put me at ease and made my first experience of podcasting great fun.
Thank you both for your kind words - the link to listen is below.
'Every so often an interview will take a truly unexpected direction. That's the case this week as we speak to prolific author Gillian Jackson in her first ever podcast appearance. Gillian principally writes psychological fiction, which to some extent draws on her professional experiences as a therapeutic counsellor working with Victim Support. But as she reveals in this startling interview, she also draws on some difficult experiences of her own. He most recent novel, Ask Laura, marks a departure for Gillian into women's fiction, but all her work is imbued with humanity and empathy.'
Another first was being the after-dinner speaker at the Soroptimists Annual Literary Luncheon for the Darlington and Durham district Branch. This amazing group of ladies do some tremendous work, at home and abroad and it was a privilege and an honour to be their speaker.
