Matala Snapshots: Then & Now and Title for Book #3!

Are you ready for some photos?

Whenever I write, whatever it is – short story, poetry, some creative non-fiction or full length novel – imagery is always really important to me. I must have pictures in my head, not just vague images but I come to know exactly what my characters look like, the shade of their hair and the clothes they wear, the landscapes they walk through and their visual cultural contexts.

I always create a pinterest board for a new novel (click here to see the board for my next novel) which I find really helpful for expanding upon this imagery. Photographs are obviously a brilliant source to help my visualisation process and I thought I’d share a few with you now so you too can start imagining the setting of my next book. Speaking of which, I have an idea for a title which I’d love your feedback on!

Here it is:

The Secret Life of Edward Nightingale
