I think crime writing is my link with trying to preserve a sort of order.

King Charles II liked women's company and well as making love to them.

People in my books tend to get their just deserts, even if not at the hands of the police.

If I write that it was a cold day, you can be sure I know it was a cold day because Pepys told us.

I have no plans for a future Jemima Shore mystery, but would write one tomorrow if a good idea came to me.
