I just read along merrily, completely unconcerned but enjoying the ride! You've made me realise how tricky it can be, though, thankyou. Now I'll read with awe...!!!

I've been reading the Outlander series since it was first published all those years ago and absolutely LOVE it! (Just ask any of my friends. ;)) I haven't read Robin Helm but will look out for the trilogy to add the pile. Many thanks for your good wishes re. my finished book, but the head banging with the new one continues.

And I always enjoy reading about how an author was inspired, or what her approach to, or how she worked out the problems that came up....oh, and yes, the problems! <br /><br />I'm not an automatice time-shift book buyer but have enjoyed what I did read. And of the list above, The Virgin Blue is on of the first, not only time-shift but the first Tracy Chevalier book I read. I knew she had written The Girl With The Pearl Earring. I've reread TVB and found something a different novel each time. It's so neat hearing someone else talk about it if only in passing. <br /><br />I loved/love Diana Gabaldon's Outlander books. I know there's great controversy over them, apparently you either love them or hate them. I read a trilogy by Robin Helm that I loved. You have to buy into Jane Austen Fan Fiction, which I do, and again you either love it or hate it. But I thought she did a great job. The old story as opposed to modern is only 200 years back to Regency England but it's a beautiful story. IHMO <br /><br />I shall look forward to this book of yours. The very best of luck. And I hope there will be no more head banging on the desk for you in your future. :/Michelle Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09537115708837212040noreply@blogger.com
