Love your books! Just want to know how you come up with your ideas and how do you put them together so well?
Gill Paul
Hi Victoria, Thanks for getting in touch and sorry it took me so long to reply. The ideas for my books often come from a scrap of information: in the case of Another Woman's Husband, the fact that Diana visited the Duchess of Windsor's house hours before her death. Why? No one is entirely sure. I then mull it over for a while, thinking about where a story that linked them could go, then I write a long, very detailed outline, planning how the two plot strands will interlink. Really glad you like my stories. Thank you for reading! Gill

Hi Gill, a question from your birthplace, Glasgow. I absolutely loved the secret wife and could not put it down. How do you weave the historical component and the fictional part together. Do you take a historical event in the first instance and invent the fictional characters and story around that ?

Hi Ms. Paul! I am thoroughly enjoying "The Secret Wife" right now... so much so that I started looking through Goodreads to see what I should read next by you. Having watched "The Crown" I am intrigued by your book "Another Woman's Husband" but I can't seem to find it in my library's database. By any chance, was this book published under a different name? Thanks so much writing such wonderful historical fictions!
