Abroad
My name is Kate Mosse, creator and writer in residence of www.mosselabyrinth.co.uk. I'm writing a novel - Labyrinth-an adventure story set in the medieval past and the present day ...)
In the UK Labyrinth will be published by Orion. At this date, my excellent agent has also sold rights to publish Labyrinth in Germany, France and Holland. (My first novel - Eskimo Kissing - was also published in Holland.)
Now, many authors are neurotic - if not in life in general, at least about their work. Sometimes you sit at your computer, struggling with some tricky plot revelation or placing a clue, and you become convinced that your publisher must have been drunk or mistaken in agreeing to take on your work.
It's easy to imagine you are no good. Writing a novel is a massive challenge. You must keep a thousand things in your head at once, yet not let them cloud the clarity of your story telling. Speaking for myself, I need masses of back story about even minor places and people - and none of that will appear in the finished work.
It does, however, appear in this website.
I hope you enjoy browsing everything - truly everything - that has contributed and will contribute to Labyrinth.
Labyrinth is a journey to a foreign land that you can still call home.
