Thanks for all the follows! Thought I would reintroduce myself! I’m Emma, a teacher from Shropshire, UK. I write Victorian fiction, based on real notorious women. I am currently on sub with a variety of indie pubs, and start my MA in Contemporary Creative Writing in Sept!

I got married on Tuesday in the town hall where the main character in my book was on trial for murder. Couldn’t resist standing where she would have been afterwards.

My 1st book got me an agent (and she’s fab), my 2nd book won’t see the light of day unless the 1st gets published but I wasn’t ready to leave the characters, my 3rd might get published one day. They’ve all got a mission, all teaching me something. I’m 42,000 into my 4th.🤞

If someone had been murdered in your house and you didn’t know, and out of the blue, a strange woman professing to be a writer offered to tell you all about it if only you would give her a tour of your house because she’s writing about it and needs to see it, what would you say?

It’s Ginny’s third birthday. She had a garden party with bunting, friends, paddling pool filled with balls, sprinkler, tent & tunnel, doggie icecream, peanut flavoured doggie bubbles and presents. Not bad for a girl who was in a Romanian kill shelter when I first saw her.

Once upon a time, someone made my life hell at work. Today I did a 10k and we were neck and neck for the last 3k and I panned her right at the end. Doesn’t make up for the stress she caused, but feeling triumphant none the less.

I’ve been obsessed with Gaston Leroux’s The Phantom of the Opera since I was a child, visiting locations in the book many times. On Saturday, my boyf popped the q at l’eglise de la Madeleine in Paris, where Erik wanted to marry Christine. Then Carmen at Opera Bastille. Smooth. 💍

I’ve been researching a local woman who has been dead for over 100 years. Jokingly, I’ve said “What if I’m waking up her ghost?” I don’t believe in that sort of thing…but tonight, as I went out into the pitch black garden with my dogs I swear a voice whispered in my ear: “Boo!”
