What a wonderful reintroduction into the past. I am amazed that you have already started on Death of a Dowager.

So I guess I'll have to keep thinking up atmospheric locations, won't I? (Fortunately, that's not hard when your book is set in the UK.)Joanna Campbell Slanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01951637123269159053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6582932888892465523.post-5889468581290028242012-08-17T11:05:09.496-04:002012-08-17T11:05:09.496-04:00Sis, in some ways, it's a daring move because ...Sis, in some ways, it's a daring move because you realize you're tampering with an icon.

But I picked up a book on another subject, and that factoid was there, so I went back and changed it in my manuscript.
