My daughter Cordelia...she is my muse
Tyne O'Connell
I have been writing from the moment my mother taught me age 1. I wrote poems and then short stories and then in the fifth grade a teacher told me, "you will be an author" and I never doubted it from that day on. Before that teacher I wrote in secret and had no idea what to do with all the stories inside me but after that proclamation I felt liberated to admit my dream.

Write. If I had a penny for every aspirant writer that told me "I want to write" or "I have a great idea for a story" I'd own Mayfair.

A writer's life is solitary, alone with your laptop or pen and pad and your imagination. I like my own company so that a massive plus and when the mind travels it traverses memories some good some bad, either way the author's mind transmutes all memories into art.

I write. I may not like what I write but if a writer doesn't write they're not writing.

The sequel to the Pulling Princes series, set in Oxford where my son and daughter studied for their degrees. Calypso is now up at Oxford while Freds is up at St Andrews...in Scotland as are many of the boys from Eton (Edes) and St Mary's Ascot (St Augustines). The two universities have different term times and share many balls so all in all they all still see a lot of one another. Its been a few years since the feted counter dump of Dumping Princes, so when after a drunken night during Fresher's week when Calypso wakes up top to toe in the same bed with Fred's with no recollection as to how they got there or what took place the night before....their romance looks set to begin anew. But is Fred's serious or is Calypso setting herself up for heartache? Her friends assist her in fortifying her heart with a string of rules but will these attempts at heartache prevention be the very actions that lead to heartache? Sometimes the wisest course of action is to let love take its course...but then Calypso has never been a girl to take the wise course when the mad course is so much more fun. Buckle up for a bonkers ride into the world of royals, balls, reels, punting on the Isis, ancient traditions and lores, and secret clubs and plenty of pulling in medieval libraries and swinging from chandeliers in grand dinning halls as Calypso blazes her trail of royal romance in the ancient colleges of Oxford.
