🇺🇸-born, 🇬🇧-based, novelist.📖 Writing, travel, culture and more. Always holding "auditions" – so be careful or you may end up a character in “1797”…and perhaps an evil one.🎭 (And why do I suspect some of you might like that latter in particular?)😂

I want to share a great find with you: Adele Archer’s blog. She is author of International Relations, and well-worth following: Read the full book description. Of course, you’d suspect I’d like that.
