I am very keen to use 'tea' as a verb now. It sounds very elegant.<br /><br />I sympathise with the need to tease a single narrative out of all the strands. Leaving things out is so difficult, but worth it once you see the end result. <br /><br />An Independent Woman looks like an excellent read with some fabulous settings and characters. Congratulations and best wishes for its success. xxJoannahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10346863303904973315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5278356786329973174.post-50002690150141938302014-08-07T22:55:11.545-07:002014-08-07T22:55:11.545-07:00Hi Patsy.
