What rambles do we have today? What news?
Not a great deal, I fancy. Yesterday was a quiet day at home for me, with time to start on a new story. I’ve been hanging around since the end of the last one, not being sure what the next subject is, and so I thought I’d just sit down and write something. So far, in the current series of mysteries set in 1892/93, I’ve had as my background: the life of a cabman, the old school network, the music hall, family feuds, magician’s & sewers, serial killers and saints, and graveyard antics and revenge. For the one that’s due out shortly, the background theme is the name of the book, Holywell Street, notorious in the 19th century for its seditious publications, naughty books and, later, photography. The next book…? Not sure, but perhaps something to do with ballooning.
Talking of books… yesterday, I released my short book of short stories as told by characters from my Victorian series, as an audio book through Amazon’s Audible programme. It’s a virtual voice, but there’s nothing I can do about that, and I can’t get the VV to do the accents the characters should have, but it’s there now. Already, I have had a critical fan wrote to say it sounds fine and they are enjoying listening to it. Here’s the link:
Anyway…
That’s where my head is at this morning, though I am not sure how much I will get done as I have another dentist visit later – they come in threes, don’t they? And that is all I have planned. Heading to the harbour later will mean passing by the pet shop which, as you can see, is very popular with pets…
… and, right beside it, Frederika’s clothes shop which is always so invitingly colourful and has gorgeous things for sale.
