Can't wait to read your new book. AND please hurry with your latest work in progress especially the Elizabethan recipes- I love to cook and have several 'old' English recipes. Don't laugh but I've become intrigued by Cromwell, Oliver Cromwell. He is a very complicated figure to understand and so many differing opinions helps to keep it complicated. In reading history or historical novels I like the facts- as true as can be found- to be entwined with local lore/scenery/dress etc. I remember most of what I read and I hate to have thought something was fact just to find out it was fiction!!! I want to be entertained too though! My daughter and I might be called Anglophiles...she lived and study there for two years and has made lifelong friends from that time period. So glad I found your series!As we know most murder mystery writers at least English writers, need to do a Christmas murder mystery. Have you done one yet? Would love to add to my Christmas Murder Mystery Collection. Those not aware find that title unnerving!
Well, reading your blog page above gave me goosebumps. You give voice to the very reasons why Christmas is all year round for our family- playing Christmas music as I type! I've not seen your books before so this is a real treat for me since I love Christmas themed books. I'm always looking for them. Two of my grandsons 4 and 18 months will be here over Thanksgiving and their Mom, our daughter, has also 'indoctrinated' them so that the oldest asks for Christmas music in August. We are working on their Dad to 'allow' Christmas music before Thanksgiving! We will win him over yet! And quilting- I made a 9 patch crib quilt with my Mother's help when I was 9. I picked up quilting again in my 50's and then dropped it again for lack of time and space. I just might start again after reading you new book. Thank you!
