As I’m once again revising “Margaret’s Rematch”, I came across the scene that was inspired by a real place. I’m talking about the lake and the willows that later into the book became Margaret’s favourite spot due to a memorable event that involved her and Mr. Westfield.

“The lake was slumbering in the shade of stripy willows, bending low as if looking into a mirror. Their long leafy branches were splayed on the surface and the flickering reflection of the sun gave it an impression of being encrusted with precious stones.”

Apart from writing, I love drawing. The problem is that when it comes to drawing I don’t know what I’m doing. However, my characters don’t care and demand to have their sketches made. So here they are: Miss Margaret Fairfax, Mr. Westfield, Miss Anne Westfield and Mr. Stockley.

My debut Regency-set novel with Girlebooks!

After the loss of her sister, Margaret Fairfax settles at Northbrook Hall – the country estate of her brother-in-law, Mr. Westfield, whose dislike of her is legendary. There she faces a major challenge of reconciling their many differences and proving to him that despite the rumours of schemes and scandals that followed her from London, she is worthy of his regard and affection. With time and many an exertion on her part and that of her new family, Margaret succeeds in altering Mr. Westfield’s opinion of her and attaching his heart, but she fears the worst when her deceitful friend arrives.

You can learn more about Miss Margaret, Mr. Westfield, his sister Anne and Mr. Stockley on their individual pages.
