After recovering from last week's ordeal of a radio interview on Radio Pays de Guéret, this week is dedicated to book signing events.
My latest novel, 'Something Old, Something New is finally spreading its wings!
I spent this morning at Vera Laine Cadeaux in Le Dorat, Haute Vienne talking more about the time I spend on research as opposed to the novel itself. It never ceases to amaze me when I chat to readers that they show so much interest in the time I devote to unearthing the anecdotes and real stories, which add authenticity to my historical fiction novels.
I believe I am fortunate to live in a region rich in memorials and sites where the disruptive activities of the French Résistance and the courageous support of the many agents sent over during WWII by the Special Operations Executive are still evident. Sadly, some of the repercussions from that era still exist amongst families whose ancestors suffered during France's dark years. 'Something Old, Something New' sets out to explore the ongoing effects of such traumatic experiences.
