Thanks Carol. I'm enjoying writing it although it's different from my normal work. Glad you liked King Solomon's Mines. I never realised how influential and ground-breaking it was. I'm currently fascinated at how much of my early reading influences my writing. Maybe I should write science fiction next.

Martin, this is inspiring.

That conversation filled the space - so much detail in what is in effect, a small amount of wordage. Miss Hobson is a great character. Thanks for sharing...

Looking forward to following Daisy's journey, Martin! I really enjoyed the extract you sent to the LWS Anthology.

Lovely writing. I shall read this story. I loved your King Solomon’s Mines story too. We also read it at school and I was hooked on Rider Haggard. I was eleven at the time.
