For obvious reasons (well, obvious to me, not obvious to you, yet), Visage does not reguire the vast amount of research I put into Bryony. Still, for the story to feel absolutely authentic to me, and because it's so much fun, I have delved into the background of a number of topics. These are
* History of labor induction
* 1970’s Pregnancy management and childcare advice
* Celtic mythology, especially.... (Oh, wait, can’t tell you that one. Spoiler!)
* 1970 calendars and moon phases (for a seamless storyline)
* Clothing, hair styles (You’d think I’d retain that all from memory), wedding rings, and motor homes
* Nineteenth century architecture
* Vampire slaying, techniques (with fictional embellishments)
I'm also more than halfway through the first official round of editing (not the self-editing I performed when writing its original draft), so we are moving right along. In the weeks that follow, the Facebook page (www.facebook.com/BryonySeries) will offer some sneak previews on the second book's artwork.
And remember, release of the official Bryony cookbook, Memories in the Kitchen: Bites and Nibbles from "Bryony" is rapidly approaching.
