A new week, a new beginning…

One month to the day after the publication of A House Divided I am coming to a (temporary) end of promotional activities and beginning to look forward to Book No 3. Which means I can happily begin to immerse myself once again in the closing years of the 16th century, though I just might stray into the 17th…

Either way I am starting my research – first to find appropriate key events to form the backdrop for the new story and then to start fleshing out my characters’ likely reactions to them.

Will there be new characters? – Who will take centre stage? What will be the time frame? Will it be set in a single or in multiple locations? I have no idea of the answers to all these and many other questions, so there are exciting times ahead…

(And a deadline to find some answers – I want to have lots of ideas / plot points to work on when I go to Hawthornden Castle – probably half-way through February.)
