Rain, Wind and Writing


Day after day in South East England the wind has been raging and lashing rain against the windows of my house. The weather conditions make it an ideal time to stay indoors and continue writing my new novel Monday’s Child, the sequel to my novel Sunday’s Child published by MuseItUp. Both novels are traditional historical novels set in the Regency. At the moment I’m patting myself on my back because another historical novelist who is reading Monday’s Child, chapter by chapter, e-mailed me to say my description of a ball made her feel as though she was watching a film of one of Jane Austen’s novels. As you can imagine her comment makes me feel as though I’m floating on air.

Snow is Falling on My Hair

Here in S.E.England light snow has been falling and settling for most of the day. When I took two black bin bags to the rubbish bin I couldn't believe how cold it was. By the time I came back into the warmth of my house snow had not only fallen onto my hair it had settled, and I was shivering. However, the sight of a bouquet of yellow roses given to me by guests who came to lunch today, and a vase of pink carnations brought a touch of summer to my house.
