When I decided to write a new series, I really wanted to set
it in London. The Agency grew from that – part traditional stuffy Gentleman’s
club, part modern gathering point for adventurous, slightly mis-fitting
patriots. Maybe it’s the Aussie in me – but there’s something just so fantastic
about the UK. Both modern and traditional, fast paced and relaxed out in the
country it’s the perfect blend of both worlds. As a writer you can have it all.
Car chases and everything on the edge of your fingertips in the city, or as
much space, lush green land and secret hiding places out in the country, and
all relatively speaking close to each other. One must remember, of course, that
people often will drive down here for 1 or 2 hours each way just to commute to
work. We measure “distance” on a bit of a larger scale, I’ve discovered.
Elizabeth Lapthorne has numerous books in all sorts of genres from both Total E-Bound and Ellora's Cave. You can email her at elapthorne999@hotmail.com or visit her website at http://elapthorne.mmebj.com/index.html
This is a great series Elizabeth and I love the London-feel you give it :-)
ReplyDeleteThank you! That's a wonderful piece of praise. Of course my crit partner and editor have a huge hand in it ;) But I try really hard to be as accurate as I can be. Thanks.
