Writing double trouble.

I've always read a few books at the same time, the habit that has spread to my writing.

I'm moving between two fictional worlds, both full of mystery, folkloric references and love that can set you on a dangerous path.

Which one would you enter?

I've spent the afternoon plotting out my next writing project - a messy process in my case. I try to be organised but I inevitably end up scribbling on loose pieces of paper.

Moodboard to illustrate some of the ideas contained in those untidy notes. I hope I can coax magic out of this chaos.

White Death: Murder mystery set in a Highland TB sanatorium in 1901.
Secrets and lies in a small, isolated community.
A foreign nurse and a local policeman drawn to each other against the circumstances.
Heartbreak, betrayal and fraudulent cure.
Past events holding the key.
