DAFFODILS RESEARCH
#WW1 Research passed the #Paxman Test! Daffodils #http://amzn.to/19iDLtI
Phew! Just finished watching the excellent series by Jeremy Paxman on WW1. I'm sure there was a huge team of researchers working on this programme and I watched with some trepidation to see whether the research for Daffodils would pass this stringent test.

"Highly recommended
I started with Daffodils and was hooked. I usually just get free Kindle books, but had to read on and on. So refreshing as usually am just offered murder mysteries. You will not be disappointed in this series." Read more of this review » |

Sorry for this extremely late response Joanna. I've only just found your comment. No, I never get tired of Jane Austen and have read her books time and again. I think I have Pride and Prejudice off by heart! I used to live in Bath, in Brock Street, between the Royal Crescent and The Circus. A perfect spot, and found by fluke back in the 1980s. Had some great parties there. Persuasion is also an excellent story, more mature I think, more layered. Jane Austen remains the ultimate role model for me as a writer.
I see you've given Jane Austen's Persuasion a five star review. This was my set book for English Literature 'O' level so always loved it. Plus it was set in Bath and Lyme Regis, one is the place I live, the other somewhere I've day tripped and stayed over - love the Dorset Coast. I may get Persuasion out and dust it off and read for old times sake, don't think you ever get tired of Jane Austen!

Hi Zoe, (love that name BTW!) Writing is on the backburner while I do my day job today. Then it's an edit ready for a free promo on 20/21st July and paperback coming out for Twisted Vine. Then a holiday but I'll take the laptop so I can edit my next offering, Daffodils. Then, come the autumn I'm planning to continue first draft of No. 3. Can't wait! I'm missing it! Selling your work isn't nearly as much fun as creating it.
How about you?
Hi AlexThank you for Friending me. How's your own writing going?
