It was brilliant being in the UK over Christmas and birthdays. I enjoyed great family company, and also got to meet up with some friends.
Now though, I am back in the study, with a new computer, and raring to get going with ‘The Botanist’s Wife’ As with ‘The Help’, there is a tonne of research before I can write much. This probably needs more research than I ever did before. I keep enhancing the outline as I think of extra bits to the storyline, but mainly it’s factual research with plant poisons!!
Hopefully, the internet authorities understand that I am a writer, not a mass murderer!
