Pam Lecky
I have far too many sources of inspiration! But I often find music helps me flesh out a story. In my first book, the hours of research threw up a lot of the sub-plot and threads to the story.
The novels of Austen, Gaskell, Hardy and Thackery were childhood friends and continue to inspire and set an impossibly high standard that I know I will never reach. I devoured Georgette Heyer novels as a teenager and still love them. A more modern regency novelist, Jude Morgan, is a firm favourite as his characterisations are second to none.
At the end of the day, the stories just seem to come out of my imagination and that is only possible when you are content and relaxed. Hence a lot of tea drunk in my house!

Dear Pam Lecky, Happy I was a winner and will be receiving The Bowes Inheritance , and look forward to it. My question is as modern technology makes it easier to write, do you still find pen and paper are faster for thinking and editing? Sometimes I write better by hand. Do you also? Was The Bowes Inheritance started on the PC or jotted notes on paper? I remain, Sincerely, Norma Iris
