What drew you to his work?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I rediscovered the romantic poets as an undergraduate and did an MA in Romantic Literature at the University of York. There I came across the \u2018Revolution Debate\u2019: the fierce intellectual tussle in 1790s England over the meaning and value of the French Revolution. I became interested by the politics of the period, and one of my tutors suggested I read Cobbett. Cobbett virtually invented the popular press in England and the Times called him a \u2018Fourth Estate in the politics of the country.\u2019 Funny, excoriating and outrageous by turns, he became my specialist subject in a short-lived academic career. \u200d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What is your writing routine?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I now live in a very isolated seventeenth-century farmhouse in the depths of rural Cornwall.

Was it difficult moving from writing non-fiction to writing a novel?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After my short-lived academic career, I went back to writing fiction, as I\u2019d done ever since childhood. I had two unsuccessful attempts at selling quirky literary novels to agents and publishers, but luckily, I did get some encouragement too.<\/p>\n<p>It was my husband who suggested I \u2018write what I know\u2019: in this case the reaction to the French Revolution in England. Once I realised this was a good setting for a thriller and murder mystery, Black Drop came together! \u200d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your latest title<a href=\"https:\/\/suffolk.spydus.co.uk\/cgi-bin\/spydus.exe\/ENQ\/WPAC\/BIBENQ?SETLVL=&amp;BRN=3607859\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>\u202f<strong>The Bells of Westminster<\/strong><\/em><\/a>\u202fis a standalone novel. Can you tell us a little about it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>After three novels featuring Laurence Jago, it was both exciting and terrifying to go about creating a whole new fictional world. I wasn\u2019t sure where to start, but I remembered my husband\u2019s advice the last time and began researching the romantic poets I\u2019d always loved.<\/p>\n<p>In a Victorian biography of William Blake, I found the story that is now the opening scene of <em>Bells of Westminster<\/em>. As a seventeen-year-old apprentice to a London engraver, the talented artist Blake was sent to Westminster Abbey to make sketches of the tombs for a forthcoming book. While he was there, the Society of Antiquaries came to the abbey on a mission to open the medieval tomb of Edward I, Hammer of the Scots. Blake was called over and asked to sketch the proceedings. I fell head over heels in love with the idea immediately! \u200d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>You very skilfully merge real events with fiction. What attracted you to the story of the opening of the tomb of Edward I in 1774 and were there many documents to help your research?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>It seemed a perfect storm of wonderfully evocative things: mystical and mysterious Blake, the glory of Westminster Abbey, and the idea of bewigged Georgian antiquarian researchers taking on the unscientific past with the new, eighteenth-century rationality.<\/p>\n<p>The antiquaries themselves wrote an account of the opening, and I spent a good deal of time researching the Bayeux Tapestry, along with ancient and unlikely histories of England involving Troy and giants, and the love lives of monarchs! \u200d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>What&#8217;s next for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ve just written \u2018the end\u2019 of my next book, which is another standalone and something rather different. Where the narrator of <em>Bells of Westminster<\/em> is the bright, witty daughter of the Dean of Westminster Abbey, my new novel features a rather down-trodden widowed clockmaker named Tobias Swann, who is plunged into the middle of an \u2018alternative history\u2019 invasion of Britain by Napoleon Bonaparte! \u200d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>One book everyone must
