Thank you. It seems much more natural to engage with someone who responds to my post, even if I would rather be talking about 13th Century France 😉

Sandie is a twenty-year-old overweight student who hides her insecurity behind bright lipstick and inappropriately short skirts.

C'est nous les canuts.
Nous sommes tout nus, mais notre règne arrivera quand votre règne finira.

Nous tisserons le linceul du vieux monde car on entend déjà la révolte qui gronde.

C'est nous les canuts, nous n'irons plus nus.

Mine was what if death is a trap, there is nothing on the other side, and that two people must be reborn and be reunited in this world? What if you met the ghost of your previous incarnation?

Thank-you. The idea that the Cartwright family met many times throughout history allows me to develop a dual timeline series where the contemporary story continues and they experience a different past life in each book.

My woodwork teacher: Basically lazy.
It turned out to be the most accurate report ever written about me, with the added bonus of the only one I remember sixty years later!

I'm only a few chapters in, but there is already a candidate 😉
