A fan writes…

Sometimes you receive an email that makes all the effort worthwhile:

“I just wanted to tell you that I recently bought your books and I’m loving them! I’m half way through Death is the Cure and I’ve read the first and also Scuba Dancing. My only complaint is that I can’t put them down! It’s only the knowledge that I need to sleep otherwise I’ll not manage to get up for work that makes me put them down and even then it takes effort! So thank you for writing them and I hope your Charlotte series continues.”

Australian Holiday

We had a great trip to Australia to visit our son and his family in Sydney and took the opportunity to visit several other states and cities.

I took the opportunity to do some research into convict history with a view to future chronicles about my Victorian sleuth, Charlotte Richmond, whose first two adventures appear in ‘Murder Most Welcome’ and ‘Death is the Cure’. We visited the men’s penal colony at Port Arthur in Tasmania, which was fascinating and, on a beautiful summer day, seemed far removed from its turbulent history.

An appropriate tourist attraction, in view of Charlotte’s history, was the brilliant, Louisa’s Walk, in Hobart, Tasmania. Here, two actors took us on a walk through history as seen through the eyes of a woman convicted of theft and transported to Tasmania, ending up at the notorious Cascades Female Factory It soon became clear to me that Charlotte’s history must somehow include this appalling prison, so I made a lot of careful notes.
