Elaine asked W. Len:

I really enjoyed your book, House of Secrets. You did incredible research to give the author the "feel" of the period. Where did you find all those British expressions that you used in the dialogues?

W. Len Growing up, I read a lot of books by British authors. Writers like P.G. Wodehouse, David Lodge, Jane Austen are some of my favorites. While researching House of Secrets, I also read history books and journals specific to the W.W.2 era to get a better feel of life back then.

I had a specific voice in mind when I created Robin, the main character. I wanted someone charming, a little pompous, yet very self-conscious because of his secret life. I'm glad you enjoyed the book.
