Today on my blog, I talk about marriage licenses in the Regency. annerollins.com/2024/08/29/m...
Married in a hurry? You need a license!
Picture the scene: a young debutante has been accidentally compromised. She was stranded in a cottage overnight with a handsome duke, caught in the bedroom with a baron, seen kissing a man to whom she...

Thought I'd l👀k into BlueSky today since I have all these eyes I've made for a movie I'm working on.
Hope I don't scare anyone with this image but I can't help it -- after all, I am a horror food stylist.

Smol update. So I have been watching and listening to #Hannibal's first season. I might keep it open like that other miniature.

The final #FinishUrBookFall part 2 = check-in. A Remedy of Love is first-drafted, clocking in at 85,362 words. Thing is, I wrote it during lockdown! This exercise has coaxed it out for a much-needed airing, and my aim is to second-draft it by the end of 2024. 🤞🏻 #writerslife

The final #FinishUrBookFall part 1 = my creative process. Best part: the research, losing myself in a bygone era, wandering around countless stately homes as scenes from the novel unfold in my mind. Worst part: with a full-time job and a family, finding the time to write!

#FinishUrBookFall this week = side character! My favourite in A Remedy of Love is the Dowager Viscountess Forsythe - Stoker to her friends - a vastly eccentric aunt of Lucian’s who resides in Berkeley Square. Her pet mynah bird, Mason, delights in hurling insults at visitors. 😂

#FinishUrBookFall = book love! Rather than reccing a recent read, I’m going to rec my favourite novel and chief inspiration: Pride & Prejudice by Jane Austen. It’s witty, arch, romantic, clever, timeless. An original choice? Hardly. But it’s the reason I write so 🤷♀️.

This week’s #FinishUrBookFall: goals! So. My dreams for this book? 1) That I finish it by next spring. 2) That it ends up being a book that I’m proud to call mine. 3) That it finds its audience, wherever and however that may be. 4) That it makes people happy.

This week’s #FinishUrBookFall is about setting! A Remedy for Love takes place in the spring to autumn of 1811. As with all of my books, it is set primarily in Derbyshire, England (well, they do say write what you know!), with forays to London’s Mayfair and Harrogate, Yorkshire.

#FinishUrBookFall: which song encapsulates my project? Natalie Imbruglia’s Torn fits pretty well. A Remedy of Love is about two people who fall headlong into love even as they realise that it’s impossible because of a bitter divide between their families. 💔

#FinishUrBookFall this week = the fantasy book launch! My dream location? Chatsworth House! Outfit? Regency, inspired by Judy Parfitt’s superb Lady Catherine de Bourgh (1980, BBC). Food: afternoon tea in the sculpture gallery, with floral displays and tiny bird cages. Such fun!

What if Hannibal was into traditional medicine and occultism instead of being a psychiatrist and it ended with flirting via ouija board? What then 🕯️✨

#FinishUrBookFall this week = fan cast! So I’m going with my photo inspirations. In the main roles of Lucian and Pip: Mark Randall and a young Hugh Dancy (confession - young Hugh is my writing muse!). For the boys’ runaway siblings: Callum Turner and Anya Taylor Joy. ♥️
