I love researching for a new story. Woodbine and Ivy is a challenge, that\’s for sure. Because of the global politics of world war two, I\’m having to start my research at the end of the story and work my way back. I have a complete arc written out – I know the ending I\’m aiming for – but it has to match up with reality. So for things to work out correctly I must begin at the very end.
It\’s like a rubic cube and when you find that the picture you\’re building for your characters can actually be backed up by real events and key points slot into place, it\’s incredibly exciting and satisfying. Gives me the motivation to carry on!
Soon the trilogy will be a quadrilogy. The quest continues….
