Sp...Ha, you have spellbound blogger, Barbara! :o) <br /><br />Spot on, once you start thinking about it, there's so much going on around the times of the witch trials. I used it as a starting point and worked back from that point, thinking about how those who practiced white witchcraft might have to live in such a dangerous time. Intrigue, secrecy, danger, the struggle to surive...it stimulated fictional characters who have adventurous lives and wildly passionate, lusty romances. I'll be writing Scottish witches for at least the next ten months or so, but maybe more. Enjoying every moment!Saskia Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487645520140379667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954760971080236997.post-11817182826110271112011-07-08T13:41:22.389+01:002011-07-08T13:41:22.389+01:00I'm obviously a witch!! woohooo!!I'm obviously a witch!! woohooo!!Barbara Elsborghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825994197656747262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954760971080236997.post-41247796474506030962011-07-08T13:41:00.430+01:002011-07-08T13:41:00.430+01:00Oh - just to prove me wrong - it didn't.

I think ever since I read Arthur Miller's play. The fear of being accused of something with no way of proving your innocence - and knowing your fate - horrible!! Great fodder for a writer!<br /><br />I just know blogger is going to make me do this as anon - so I'll sign here just in case- Barbara ElsborgBarbara Elsborghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15825994197656747262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954760971080236997.post-59956984297191009252011-07-08T12:05:48.154+01:002011-07-08T12:05:48.154+01:00Thank you, Lindsay!

He's a bad boy and far too darkly seductive and wily for his own good. ;-) THE LIBERTINE is mostly set in St Andrews and Edinburgh - which is a great excuse for more research trips to Scotland. :-)Saskia Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02487645520140379667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8954760971080236997.post-40148824976627026252011-07-08T10:49:55.365+01:002011-07-08T10:49:55.365+01:00Welcome to the British Romance Fiction blog, Saski...Welcome to the British Romance Fiction blog, Saskia!
