For whatever may ail you, I recommend peppermint tea and honey..no, this is not unlicensed medical advice. ;)

    

I have always been a reader...was fortunate to grow up in a home filled with books to which I had free access as soon as I was able to read. Book banning, history white-washing, censureship are abhorrent to me. The authors who influenced me early on and most defined my taste were Alexander Dumas (père), Karl May, Jules Verne, Dostojewski, Theodor Storm, Margaret Mitchell, Sergeann Golon, Mary Stewart, Jane Aiken-Hodge, and other great romantic suspense and adventure writers. Not to forget the magic of movies...Captain Nemo and Prince Valiant...et c.

 Mixing characters of different nationalities comes as naturally to me as mixing humour with suspense, romance, and adventure. If I don't enjoy writing the scene, I usually know I'm on the wrong track.

Please feel free to leave a comment or two. I appreciate your visit and your opinion, and by all means, subscribe to my newsletter! So I have a reason to write one. :)

Thank you.
