In my work-in-progress the main character runs a cafe, so I've made sure she's employed a barista who understands the sanctity of the skinny flat white (he's Australian). Hmmm. Note to self. Must check there's smashed avo on the menu. And humming bird cake ... the current wip is set in summer to autumn, so I've yet to start describing autumn leaves falling, but I can't wait. There just HAS to be a scene set beneath a maple tree.Stella Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700593244322415627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-59828326438750416112019-04-15T13:19:44.954+10:002019-04-15T13:19:44.954+10:00Hi Alyssa, thank you, it's great to be here.

I can't see April Showers selling statistics to see how it's doing (and the publisher hasn't shared those details yet) but there's a 5 star review up, so that is encouraging!Stella Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700593244322415627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-68427117542732113022019-04-15T13:01:12.530+10:002019-04-15T13:01:12.530+10:00Hi Stella, enjoyed reading about your lovely locat...Hi Stella, enjoyed reading about your lovely locations!

I'm supposed to be in editing mode, but I'm knee deep into a book set in a small Italian alpine village (the main character is a pioneer in the gelati industry ... back in the days when somoone traipsed up above the snowline to gather ice). Perhaps its the brutal summer we Queenslanders have just survived that has made reading about quaint alpine villages such a wonderful fictional escape.Stella Quinnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16700593244322415627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2603806150366948575.post-40198307817969636882019-04-15T10:45:11.849+10:002019-04-15T10:45:11.849+10:00Hi Stella!

Whether it's a real place or one from the author's imagination, as long as that setting is vividly portrayed, I'm going to love it. I have April Showers sitting on my kindle ready to read at the first opportunity. Can't wait to read about Cathedral Springs.Marilyn Forsythhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17264683453138649702noreply@blogger.com
