Cold War thriller author, part-time engineer. History buff. Big fan of things with engines & wheels, but also baking. And tea. All views my own.

http://bio.site/lins_rumbold for books and my blog.
I wish I could remember the author’s name to credit her - but I frequently hope she’s well and her writing is successful.

Sure enough, it helped. It’s helped quite a few times since, so it bemuses me that it isn’t one of the first things I think of doing when I hit plot and character difficulties.

It’s a fun way to get to know a character that isn’t a questionnaire or checklist (they do help, mind).

Thank you - and likewise. We’ll get there in the end … this is just one of the less fun parts of the process!

You are essentially stuck between an ageing society desiring nostalgia and / or risk removal and a shrill social media cacophony demanding everything is sorted out now. With glib supposedly edgy one-liners far too often passing as serious commentary.

I know! 😄 he finds me so many fascinating books. I’m lucky.

I feel like I should add this isn’t because of anything bad. In fact, it’s all good stuff that I’m actually grateful for (family and friends and time together). It’s just … why does it all have to happen at once?! 🤣
