To get the right word in the right place is a rare achievement. To condense the diffused light of a page of thought into the luminous flash of a single sentence, is worthy to rank as a prize composition just by itself... Anybody can have ideas, the difficulty is to express them without squandering a quire of paper on an idea that ought to be reduced to one glittering paragraph. -- Mark Twain

Novelicious
I declare, India and I are having a bang-up time introducing ourselves to U.K. readers. Here's an interview I did for Novelicious, a fun and funny website dreamed up by some U.K. writers. I may have had a drink or two while answering these questions.

Yikes (and a German cover)
Once again, I have been shamefully lax at posting any updates. India would not be pleased and would no doubt berate me for my indolence. I'm sure she would be an avid user of social media. Photos of Lotus House on Instagram. Sarcastic digs at politicians on Twitter. And the daily specials available at the brothel on Facebook.
So, here's a peek at the cover for the German edition of India Black and the Widow of Windsor, with its new title, Danger to the Throne. At least, I think that's the new title. Any German speakers out there who can translate?
