THE COLVILLE SERIES
“NEW BEGINNINGS ON VANCOUVER ISLAND” opening: – “It was Saturday night and Whitehaven was busy entertaining itself. A rogue wind was blowing in from the sea, brisk, cheerless and noisy, seeking warm crevices in which to rest awhile. Despite this, the town was teeming with deckhands just in from Antigua. Men with their caps drawn tight over their ears and their jackets buttoned high were swaying from inn to ale house, seeking excitement.”

In the video we talk about out novels and our authors’ lives. There’s much laughter and we have a lot in common. Not least that she lives, and I used to live, on the same street – decades apart! LK Wilde is the author of “Queenie of Norwich” and other historical and contemporary novels.
SOME INFO ABOUT ME:
After teaching the piano and raising a family, I exhibited and lectured on antique Chinese textiles in the UK, New York, China and Hong Kong. Following on from that I studied and taught at the School of Oriental and African Studies [SOAS] in London gaining a doctorate in Chinese history. I now write historical fiction full time and I am a member of the Society of Authors and the RNA – Romantic Novelists’ Association . I enjoy the company of fellow authors at the Belmont Belles & Beaux in Leicester and the RAG – Retford Authors Group. I live in a very old house with stone walls and a walled garden with a large magnolia tree. Just the place for a historian. I am very fond of rabbits and I often wear a bright yellow mac.
