Chapter Seven Sergio wondered how with so little practice he was able to recognise a Jane Austen fan straight away. Of course it helped that there was only one person coming into the lobby at that time, but even if there had been a few others he was sure he would have picked on the right person. The woman who came in was not old, but she was several decades behind on the current fashion. Sby Lise - A Novel Idea
Sometimes it fits in, sometimes it doesn't. If I have a lot of these bits, I keep them in a separate document.by Lise - Tea Room
Speaking of grammar, why do you always leave off the -s in the third person singular?by Lise - Tea Room
Chapter Six Julia considered the idea of Sergio going over to ask the women what they'd recommend for her birthday. If they said Pride and Prejudice, it was them. Well, two of them. There might be more. And how could they not say Pride and Prejudice, given how obsessed they were? It would be all they knew. “Right,” she said. “But then what?” “I could engage them in a discussion about it.by Lise - A Novel Idea
Sorry! First I had to recover from the awesomeness that is a few days of national championships and just when I remembered a post was due, I fell ill *and* work came in after a long period of nothing. So I'm trying to sleep/rest half the day and doing some work the other half.by Lise - Tea Room

Chapter Five Sergio had been right. The computer in the lobby was free. Julia sat down and checked if she could use it without entering a code. Apparently she could, because she started clicking and then she gasped. “They are here!” “Who are?” Sergio hadn't been sure why he was hanging around, but now he turned. “The women! Well, some of the eight! They checked that site from this compuby Lise - A Novel Idea
She'd be a depressed nutcase if that happened.by Lise - A Novel Idea
For lack of a better place: AM & F: singleton, twins, triplets,....? I'm on page 16 of that story, but how many she'll get will determine how she'll behave.by Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Four Julia had made up her mind. “Drop me off at a shopping centre, please. I'll get some things and find a hotel.” “Alone?” He was surprised. Was he no longer needed? He had been thinking this was exactly what he wanted, but he had not expected her to be ready. “You're free to join me, but I doubt you will. I'll manage.” “And Sunday?” “I'll go home.” Sergio thought it a perfeby Lise - A Novel Idea
I don't know. I made it up almost four years ago. No idea whether I was basing it on anything then ;-)by Lise - A Novel Idea
Thank you! Captain Wentworth wondered if he should stop the carriage and walk the remainder of the journey to Kellynch Hall. Now that would have been even more revealing ;-)by Lise - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Chapter Three “Why not? Is there anything wrong with detectives?” Sergio was willing to defend them, seriously or not. “They're rarely literary.” “Because they actually do something, as opposed to literary figures who only talk. Yes.” He was being more of a literary figure right now than a detective, he reflected as he remembered that he was supposed to keep an eye out for cars followiby Lise - A Novel Idea
Very good of the admiral :-) I wonder what he literally said to the captain.by Lise - Derbyshire Writers' Guild
Chapter Two He went out and crossed the street to the small grocery shop. It was never busy, but he would only buy something if it did not take too long. There was only one other customer and he did not have to wait long to pay for his batteries. He made some small talk until he saw Julia come out of their building. Then he greeted the cashier and strolled out. A woman got out of the redby Lise - A Novel Idea
Happy new year to you too! I hadn't realised it was so long ago until I came to them saying "this is 2012". Oops ;-)by Lise - A Novel Idea
I'm working on both now. Revising one and on page 8 of the sequel to the other.by Lise - Tea Room
Added/changed some words here and there compared to the first version, re-read, and started writing towards a finish. January 1 seemed a good day to start up again.by Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter One “Sal, do you remember that neighbour of mine you promised that I'd be delighted to water her plants?” Detective Inspector Sergio Montini asked. “Huh.” Detective Sergeant Sally Fredericks had been too focused on her task to know instantly what this strange sentence meant. “Your neighbour?” “Across the hall. She gave you her key.” He hadn't been too happy with that, because heby Lise - A Novel Idea

I have been thinking about it - and about the Jane Austen Death Squad. As the latter needs an ending, I'm trying to think of that one first. Got a good idea of what the freaky Jane Austen fans could be doing to Sergio, but I'll need to re-read all existing chapters first and maybe repost so we can all get back in.

I've been trying to think about it, but I found the current worries of a PM too depressing.... ;-)by Lise - Tea Room

Well, I could drag this on for dozens of chapters, but I felt it might get boring.by Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Forty “Do you want to continue to see this?” asked Frederick’s mother. “I can turn it off.” “Yes, please turn it off.” Anna Margaret would rather not see more of it. She would be able to find out what had been said without having to watch it. People would mention it to her or she would read about it. Queen Anna switched channels and turned off the sound. “The other two seemed positivby Lise - A Novel Idea
Chapter Thirty-Nine “What is ridiculous?” Frederick looked confused. “I can’t be.” Anna Margaret could not even bring herself to say what she could not be. “But what if you are?” He seemed anxious about that. “Then I am. What if I’m not? Then you’d like me to be,” she said, studying his face. It felt like a blow in the chest. She was not sure it was good or bad. “How are we going to get itby Lise - A Novel Idea
Europe is mostly 4-5 months sometimes up to a year. That's a bit much to be absent (although there will be a temporary replacement), but when a French minister went to work after 5 days that was frowned upon.by Lise - A Novel Idea
