Barbara Hamilton's Penguin Blogs

The first of Barbara Hamilton's blogs about the Abigail Adams series is up on the Penguin Authors' site. I couldn't be more pleased if I'd written it myself.


I also followed archangelbeth's advice and downloaded pdf copies of several of Mary Renault's novels, so any advice about how to transfer them to Kindle would be appreciated.

Anybody know if the works of Manning Coles are floating around in digi-world anywhere? They wrote WWII and Cold War spy stories - very British and VERY un-Bondian.

And, I had the wonderful experience over the past few days - aided, I'm sure, by shameful hookey-playing from my work - of being smitten with an idea for the fifth Asher & Ysidro book, which I HOPE will jar loose the contracts process (they'd agreed to take 4 & 5, but I only had an outline for 4...) I am MASSIVELY pleased with both novels and wish they were done already so that I could read them. I love it when ideas arrive. No wonder people believed in the existence of a Muse - it feels exactly like that. Like something coming in from the outside in a yellow envelope.

Now back to grading exams.
