Fit for Heroes

With the last two posts I'm in danger of becoming a 'when-we'. The trouble is I have met so many wonderful people, not just as a journalist but in ordinary life. I wrote used one, an old teacher as a model for A Land Fit for Heroes and then added two to the cover, my mother as a young girl and an uncle who was one of the wonderful people. My wife liked the cover so that is four on that one book. I also remember some who were unconventional and their early lives are recorded in the same book. They became intermingled, bits from one attached to bits of another and a little of a third and through that, they grew into the characters who make up Cairndhu. I enjoy devising a plot but the real fun ios when those characters take over the tale.
