dramatic english-novelist stories visible
I don't always set stories in villages, more often in towns. But always in smallish communities because the characters' actions are more visible there, and the dramatic tension is heightened.
english-novelist third
I'm a third done into a new book but sorry - I have a superstition about talking about it!
english-novelist fail family learn life skills
It's not so much hearth as family life which is where we all, I'm sure, learn (or fail to learn!) all our life skills for the future.
kindness home appreciate
I've experienced huge kindness here, a great welcome and some very generous reviews without the snide social edge I often suffer from at home. I'm not patronized here either, which I much appreciate!
