In which the author listens to her husband’s brilliant idea and is delighted in the result.
I love chatting with my family about my stories. They have great idea, some of which actually work in my books. In this case, my husband and I were walking and he said “You know, what if…” and that what it became the big reveal for this book. It made so much sense, how could I not write it?

The Dragons of Kellynch
In order to secure her future, a young lady must marry well.
One would think Anne Elliot, a baronet’s daughter, would find the marriage mart far easier to navigate than a more ordinary woman. One would be wrong.
After refusing a poor, but otherwise perfect sailor, on the advice of her friend Lady Russell, Anne finds an unhappy choice before her: marry deathly dull Charles Musgrove or hope against hope that another suitable proposal might come her way before she becomes a spinster on the shelf.
Anne’s disgracefully independent choice to refuse Charles’ offer turns her world entirely arsey-varsey and not in the expected turned upside down sort of way. She begins to see things … hear things … things like dragons.
And once one sees dragons, one talks to them. And when one talks to them, nothing is ever the same again.
Must a young lady marry well if she hears dragons?
I’ve always been fond of Anne and Capt. Wentworth so I really enjoyed this take on “Persuasion”.
I loved this book!
