Can't wait to see your future projects taking shape. Will Stoat not return for libby's luck? I thought he might.
Oh and who said dwiggies don't enjoy noir cyberpunk? If written by you I certainly would.

I have two other series which have plot outlines, one 'the diaries of a chaperone for hire' and the other 'the seven stepsisters'. There's also two more Georgian Gambles to go and a possible spinoff re Jemima and Jenny. Jane and Caleb will remain in London after the intertwined adventures of 'Jane and the Dangerous Draisine', 'Jane and the impossible lady' and 'Jane and the deadly wagers' which is the work in progress.

I apologise for the lack of productivity; first I blame my doctor for giving me inappropriate medication which has had me struggling with feeling like I'm going senile for a year. Secondly I blame the Australian flu which my other half and I are struggling out of, and I lost a week somewhere early in January, and can't concentrate too hard right now. But I am writing. Unfortunately for DWG some of what I'm writing, just to keep my hand in, is a series of short stories in a noir cyberpunk genre and my central character is a professional assassin with a black sense of humour [it went with the flu somehow] so I don't suppose you'd be interested in seeing them]]> Sarah Waldock A Novel IdeaMon, 29 Jan 2018 10:20:01 +0000 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?6,127103,127147#msg-127147 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?6,127103,127147#msg-127147 Nicki A Novel IdeaSat, 27 Jan 2018 23:11:47 +0000 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?6,127103,127146#msg-127146 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?6,127103,127146#msg-127146I was going for an engineer because of the genuine case of Margaret Anne Bulkley aka Dr James Barrie as a doctor....

As to Jane and Caleb, well that's the work in progress, in which I am weaving 3 different mysteries together after the fashion of a Chinese detective novel [I am a devotee of Robert Van Gulik's Judge Dee stories] and it's tough, but fun. Jane has received a royal command to turn up for the season and show off that demi-parure, Caleb is showing a lot of interest in owning a Draisine aka Pedestrian Curricle aka hobby-horse, Simmy has an old friend whom Jane runs into, and meanwhile there is a lady whose accent occasionally shows hints of the Parish of Bow, an an unwholesomely high number of people inheriting from suddenly dead relatives.
I was thinking of doing Simmy at University as a sort of Georgian Sherlock Holmes when I ran out of Jane and Caleb ideas
Meantime I've been writing some humourous noir cyberpunk short stories to amuse myself but I haven't posted any because I'm not too sure if they'd be suitable here.]]> Sarah Waldock A Novel IdeaSat, 27 Jan 2018 21:18:44 +0000 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?6,127103,127145#msg-127145 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?6,127103,127145#msg-127145 Teresa Douglas A Novel IdeaSat, 27 Jan 2018 16:00:34 +0000 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?6,127103,127144#msg-127144 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?6,127103,127144#msg-127144The idea is to write the next generation, starting with Jasper and Phebe, Lydia will be in there too, which will be in the reign of William IV; and maybe a future generation set in the later Victorian era.
I've also had some ideas for following Henry[b 1599] who 'went to some place called Jamestown and was never heard of again' and his generations; along the lines of Henry goes native to survive, Henry's son or grandson re-establishes the family by marrying a wealthy Dutch girl in New Amsterdam, the Brandons get mixed up in the American revolution, a Brandon girl dresses as a male to get her qualifications as an engineer and works on the new railroads, surveying for the grading, a Brandon girl enters into correspondence with a cowboy out west as a mail order bride [I was thinking of a character like Big Jerry, if anyone knows the Laura Ingalls WIlder stories, 'On the Shores of Silver Lake'] and maybe dabbling with a bit of conflict in the American civil war.
Thoughts?]]> Sarah Waldock A Novel IdeaSat, 27 Jan 2018 12:10:50 +0000 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?6,127103,127143#msg-127143 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?6,127103,127143#msg-127143 Sarah Waldock A Novel IdeaSat, 27 Jan 2018 12:02:20 +0000 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?6,127103,127138#msg-127138 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?6,127103,127138#msg-127138 Teresa Douglas A Novel IdeaTue, 23 Jan 2018 10:23:48 +0000 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?6,127103,127120#msg-127120 https://dwiggie.com/phorum/read.php?6,127103,127120#msg-127120I just realized that the gentlemen rather underestimated Madelaine in thinking that she was not capable of doing something for herself, other than waiting for rescuers.

“It’s this geitenneuker rudder,” grumbled the captain, a Belgian who resorted to Flemish oaths on occasion. “I saw the breakers, but not in time to give the verdommet ship time to go around the sand bank. I say it’s the fault of the thrice-dammed French klootzak for bringing women on board.”

BTW beaucoup des lis should be beaucoup de lis.
