Writing is in my hard-wiring. There’s no escape. And, I wouldn’t want it any other way. The Elen story proves it over and over again, as do the other stories crowding my head. I spend moments in wonder as the Elen story unfolds, and I hope abundantly that I put what’s in my head onto paper to be a beloved read.
Thank you for the recent donations. We’re working hard to make this dream of Scotland and the dream of a book come to fruition. Two helpful books in my research for Elen are: “The Domestic Life of Scotland in the 18th Century” by Marorie Plant and “Agnes Finnie, the Witch of Potterrow Port” by Mary…
Little by little, bit by bit, books are built like building blocks from a kernel of a story to a wonderful book. While writing, some of the blocks may tumble, files can be lost, sentences scratched out, pages, and chapters deleted.
18th-century Scottish folk tunes are part of my research. Learn more on my YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHGQ5d3hF7M&list=PLleT9-eySqUh4xwCCTBKpkt7Q29eGyxIv
