Busy doing research on the English civil war and half way through my new book. It's quite a challenge to fit the flow of the story into a given historical background.

Quite fascinating to discover how a newcomer like Oliver Cromwell finally ascended to power, a bit like Putin today he worked his way up through society until he had created his own base of power and then took over.

Lots of lessons to learn from history....

Recently I started a book on Queen Henrietta Maria (the Queen consort of King Charles II) and the more I advanced in my research.... the more I disliked her! Tough like a mule, stubborn, prejudiced and a religious fundamentalist of the worst sort.... a nightmare.

Now, a disciplined writer with a fat contract from an established publishing house would just have toiled on, but as an indie author I have my freedom!!!!

I stopped for almost half a year, then suddenly a new character came to my mind, Her Majesty's maid of honour.... and here we go.

Now busily typing :)

hoping to published by the end of the year

long train ride today....very beneficial as I wrote almost five pages.

Soon the story will be drawing to an end; have to tie all the strands together in one knot, challenging....

started a new book dedicated to Armand alone - travelling east to the Germanic Empire this time.

Can he escpae his great love?

Can he survive adventures without his friends?
