Nina Rowan has asked me to help her as an editor, sounding board, and research assistant. Nina plans to write a five-book series set in Victorian England using the five gorgeous, intriguing, sexy members of the Hall family as the central characters. I’m having a lot of fun finding amusements in Victorian London for them and learning about corsets, crinolines and the Crimean War.
Nina is in the “middle drafts” stage of Touch, and I watch, transfixed, as she discards old characters and introduces new ones, executes major plot changes, shuffles scenes, changes settings, dresses, redresses, and undresses characters. “Wow!” I say, and “Oh yeah, that works,” and “YES!”
