Today we are joined by Rosemary Morris
My love of history led to writing novels. To
research I read non-fiction, visit museums etc. At the moment I am writing
Monday’s Child and revising a mediaeval novel. To view book trailers and read
extracts from my novels please my website. (I would be happy to hear from you.)
Why does heart-rending pain lurk in wealthy Countess of Sinclair’s
eyes?
Captain Howard’s life changes when he meets Kate, the intriguing
Countess. He resolves to banish
When Kate, victim of an abusive marriage meets Edward Howard the air
sizzles but she has no intention of marrying again
We put the following
questions to Rosemary:
Q. Have you ever thought of
writing in another genre?
A. I have considered writing fantasy fiction.
Q. Agent or publisher? What is
your preferred route to publication?
A. I am very happy with my publisher, MuseItUp Publishing,
but admit I would like to find an agent for some of my future novels.
Q. Did you go through the RNA New
Writers' Scheme and what are you views on this support for those writers just
starting out?
A. Yes, each of my published novels and my unpublished
mediaeval novel which I am revising went through the RNA New Writers’ Scheme.
The reader’s reports were very helpful. As a result, five of my novels have
been published. The scheme is an invaluable aid for new writers at a very
reasonable cost.
Q. Writers have many different
ways of working, some in silence and others in complete chaos. What is your
preference and why?
A. When I am writing I prefer silence and resent it when
someone phones me. I’m sociable but not during the time set aside for working.
When dealing with ‘writerly’ matters I often have to switch on the television.
Q.
What did you enjoy most about writing your novel?
A. I enjoyed writing about
the love that developed between an older lady and a younger man. For those who
are unfamiliar with the period, I also enjoyed describing the clothes, food,
etiquette etc., in a period in which few novels are set.
Q. Some writers
work under different author names. Do you or would you do this?
A. If my mediaeval novel is accepted for
publication I might use a different author name because the plot, theme and
style are very different to my published novels.
Q. What's next for Rosemary
Morris?
A. I have nearly finished writing Monday’s Child, a
follow-on novel from Sunday’s Child.
