How do you manage to write so much, so well, keep track of all your characters and their arcs, and make it so much fun to read? I'm really looking forward to what happens next in both St. Mary's and the Time Police.

It's all in my head. Which is a little bit worrying but I think it's too late to start keeping records now. It would take so long to index everything. I do occasionally refer to previous books to check how I described something or what a certain character said, but yeah ... all in my head.

I have read almost all your books (love them all!) and I am astonished you can keep everything straight in your head. I was of a mind to ask what writing tools you might be using, like what timeline editor, but obviously no need.

I am new to your substack, too. If you have already talked about tools of the trade, I would appreciate being pointed to that conversation.

Too late, Cheryl - it's finished. In fact, I'm editing it now. Or should be, but I'm drinking tea and reading this instead. I shall blame you ...
