You recommended Death and the Harlot on your blog so I got it, enjoyed it and have preordered the sequel! Will you be reading the sequel as well?
Marguerite Kaye I definitely will, and it's already on my wishlist. I'm so glad you enjoyed this one, which really stood out for me as a different take on the period, even without the murder mystery.

I'm an aspiring writer, but I'm dealing with two things: I get discouraged every single day because 96% of manuscripts are rejected, and I haven't had an idea for years, literally. There's too many people wanting to be writers, and knowing there's so much competition just kills me a little every day. When I get motivated, immediatly something appears about the industry that kills it. Any tips on how to deal with this?
Marguerite Kaye Hi Cintia, I think the trick is not to pay attention to all the industry chat, and just to write for yourself. I think it was Hilary Mantel who said that she wrote the books she wanted to read, and that has always seemed to me sound advice. Of course as a writer you want others to read and enjoy what you've written, but you have to start by writing only for yourself and from the heart. Good luck.
