The open space is important to me, and I've also made the love of the outdoors a large part of my hero's character in The Antique Love.<br />Thanks again for your lovely comment and your good wishes!Helena Fairfaxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00435930085468105031noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5611561027305931377.post-76668403329770573102013-08-25T03:44:26.129+01:002013-08-25T03:44:26.129+01:00Hi Helena,

Love that you live on the moors. Brought up on Heathcliff myself, and it does sound so crazily romantic and dangerous. <br />Just finished your first book, The Silk Romance, which I loved. Will try to get up the review at various sites this weekend. Good luck with The Antique Love. Truly Charlotte is brilliant with her covers. She did mine, too, and people are always commenting. Good luck with "Antique."

I read anything in the bookcase when a child and my mum would say, no book is so bad you can't learn something from it. Now, I need to be a bit selective as there's so much choice and time seems to pass more quickly. Good luck, fellow MuseItUp author, with your new publication.
