Extraordinary Social Media Connections

In the run-up to the publication of my latest book – The Trouble with Tigers – I  posted this photograph from my research archives on my Facebook page:

The inspiration behind the novel: This photo shows the women of Harmston’s Circus getting ready for the performance.

I had no idea who these other circus ladies might be other than I knew for certain my real life heroine is sitting second from the ri
