Beautiful! The juxtaposition of Queen Victoria and Albert's love affair against their era always seemed interesting to me. It makes you wonder if the forbidden element heightened the erotic tales of the age. Thank you for a wonderful book. Wow, I will never get tired of this cover! Beautiful!

I'm a fairly left-brained person though so I approach my writing in a structured manner. Margo, hope you enjoy it. Helen, you're so sweet. Thanks for the glowing compliments.

I really like the way you portrayed Willow's mother obviously you had put a lot of research into Bi-polar. I thought the book was awesome love your work.

It appears that not only are you creative, you are also a very organized writer. And it obviously works quite well. Creativity I can do. Organization, that's another matter. My style has been to write by the seat of my pants (no visualization here, please), but I don't see how that would work when you've at least one subplot going. I can see that I've got to combine the fun (letting the characters run wild) with actual WORRRKKK! (anyone old enough to remember Maynard G Crebbs from Dobie Gillis?) Thanks again for sharing.

But I did go back to my writing tracker for that book and I wrote it in 49 days - now that was actually spread out over about 4 months, so it wasn't consecutive days as I don't write on weekends (usually) and I had some travel in there somewhere. I'm a draft writer, meaning I don't stop once I start writing a draft, to revise, that is, I just plow through and make notes as I go. So then after the rough draft is done, the revision work begins. I believe it took me about a month, perhaps a month and a week to do the several layers of revisions I do before I send books to my agents. Usually I pass through the book at least 3 times, adding, fleshing-out, tweaking, polishing, etc. So I guess when all is said and done it took me less than 6 months to write. I tend to be a fairly fast writer - not as fast as some of the Jaunties, but I can hold my own. :) Rainy, it’s been a while so I can’t be certain about the entire timeline.
