Loving Ms Erin

With Thunderstorm finished and waiting for the cover to get completed before I can finally get it in print and order several copies for myself, my Mother and any friend who would like to purchase it, I'm finally starting a new one.

Loving Ms Erin will have no spin-off, it's a stand alone "romantic" story. That's what bothers me as its romantic and although I have a romantic bone in my body, I have many actually, I'm the guy who if he could buy you flowers, shower you in compliments, etc. I've never actually done it, done a story like it. I'm kinda worried it will fail or it might even succeed.

It's set in World War 2, which makes it even more harder than Thunderstorm was, that only had a little bit of history to research and it was set in modern day Britain. THIS however is set IN World War 2, which means I have to be precise, can't change details, events, etc.

Sure it's set in a fictious place, with fictious names of people, but the story and surroundings and events I so need to be realistic to allow people to enter the world. It's frightening that I could bodge it up so much and have people moan about it not playing with events at that time.

The good thing is though, it has an ending already. It also has a start and a loosely middle that I can play with. I'm changing it totally, I'm going for the Pride and Prejudice style, even how she wrote her chapters small I'm doing the same, small chapters, not even a new page for a new chapter. Make it totally different and even allow me to write in a different style, more posh, as my friend Emily said "more grownup". I can't wait...
