hi Anna,how exciting to see your third novel is set on the Isle of Wight. I live there.What is it about?
Anna Faversham
Hi Mary,
Well fancy you living right in the middle of my story! I wonder whereabouts you live. You can always private message me if you don't want to shout it out. Or just leave me wondering!
Under a Dark Star is set mostly in the south part of the island, 'the back of the Wight' and, like Book One of the Dark Moon Trilogy, it is about smuggling and worse in 1823. I have altered the names of the villages on the island, for instance, Brightstone is called Brigton in my book, but then perhaps you'll know that Brightstone used to be called Brixton but changed its name in the early 20th century (I think it was then). If you go to Brightstone church, that is the church where, in the book, the parson disappeared from.
In the book, the south part of the island is under the control of "The Dark Star" and Karl and Daniel (heroes of Book One) join together to defeat this guy's stranglehold on the local population. Needless to say, they encounter far more than they anticipated. Lucy, refusing to be left behind, keeps cool and firm until her beloved Daniel appears to be in trouble.
If you buy the book, I hope you will enjoy the story and enjoy picturing where it is all happening.
Thanks for the question.
