  Sunday’s Child Heroines born on different days of the week. Book 1 a classic Regency Romance rich with period details. Despite loss and past love, self-sacrifice, brutality and honour, will it be possible for Tarrant, who fought in the Napoleonic wars, and Georgianne, whose father and brothers died in battle, to find happiness? Prologue   Hertfordshire, England 1810   Fourteen-year-old, Georgianne Whitley leaned over the banister to watch her aunt’s butler admit a handsome cavalry officer dressed in uniform. One day, her mamma frequently assured her, she would marry such a military man, a member of her dear father’s regiment. Of course, this officer was probably too old to ever be her husband. However, in future, she was sure she would meet someone equally handsome with whom she would fall in love. She giggled. ‘Love is not the main prerequisite for marriage,’ Mamma always claimed. According to her mother, rank, lands, and wealth were more important wher...

  Bucketing down outside, so my part-time gardener work for me today, and I can't even deadhead tulips and daffodils. I wrote part of a new chapter of my novel Grace, of Cassio a #classic #medieval#romance rich in historical detail. I had a lot of laundry which I put in the washing machine and set it on the wash/dryer cycle. Only the sheet, pillow case and laundry plus some tea towels to put in the washing machine and set the same cycle. I'm now about to make a chocolate chip, pecan, banana tea bread which includes organic brown flower and sugar, and cold pressed cider vinegar and a few other ingredients.

  Just finished writing a heart-rending scene in my new #classic #medieval#romance, Grace, Lady of Cassio, which I'm not ashamed to admit brought a few tears to my eyes. Do all novelists become this emotionally involved with their characters?

  Thoughts About How to Write a Novel   I can’t remember how many times people have told me they would write a novel if they had time. Serious authors, published or unpublished, find time. It is important to establish a routine. I recommend an achievable schedule, fifteen minutes or more a day, a fixed period at the weekends, or writing a set number of words every day. If you have an idea, don’t dream about writing. Begin with the first sentence and continue to the end. Then revise and edit the drafts until the final one, in the correct format, is ready to submit to an agent or publisher. (Should you be in doubt, pay an editor to streamline it.) If your novel is rejected, don’t be discouraged, either polish your novel or begin a new one. I wrote eight novels before one was accepted. By then, I knew more about how to write. I revised five of my earlier novels, and each year submitted one to the Romantic Novelists Association for a reader’s report. Subsequently each nove...
