SEVENTH NOVEL

Templeton Author

After having three novels published this year, a Christchurch woman writer has had another accepted for publication early next year. She is Mrs Nora Sanderson, of Templeton, who has now had seven hospital romances accepted and published by the English publishers. Mills and Boon. The novel just accepted would be called “The Case for Nurse Sheldon,” Mrs Sanderson said yesterday. The three already published this year were “Shadows in the Ward,” “A Partner for Dr. Philip," and “The Taming of Nurse Conway.” “Yes, I have been working quite hard lately,” Mrs Sanderson agreed. But she loved to write, she said, and fits it in whenever she can. It takes her about three months to complete one of her novels, from the rough-copy stage. The nursing background of all her stories is authentic, as she herself is a former nurse. She did her training in Auckland.

She had recently heard that she has been accepted as a member of the British Romantic Novelists’ Society, Mrs Sanderson said. Last week Mrs Sanderson was one of the guests of honour at a New Zealand writers’ literary luncheon, held in Wellington, during Book Week.
