It's been put on the back-burner for a bit now as my career in Gothic fiction is taking priority. I have started books about Maria Fitzherbert and Caroline of Brunswick but I have no idea when they will be ready I'm afraid.(less)

“Death, once conceived, was rapacious. It took all with it.”
Laura Purcell, The Silent Companions

“Imprisonment was never the real punishment: it was the people you were stuck with.”
Laura Purcell, The Silent Companions

“She had an urge to confess everything: tell him about the splinters on Rupert’s neck; the nursery; the garret; the handprint; the eyes. But to speak of such things made them a farce. You could not explain fear; you could only feel it, roaring through the silence and striking your heart still.”
Laura Purcell, The Silent Companions
