Dear Lucy
Dear Lucy
Letters from one friend to
another
Dear Lucy was conceived during a conversation with, of course, my dear friend, Lucy. I wondered what to do with my little ditties... which I felt had no literary home. Lucy said, "Why not write them as letters, to a friend?" And so, Dear Lucy was born.
Volume 1 has been published, details below and Volume 2 is in the making.
I hope you enjoy Dear Lucy, and would love to hear what you think.
