Interview with Historical Fiction Reader

…one of the scenes I lost, which I pine for, is where Joseph is in a small canoe, floating down a river lined with boats full of orchids that are for sale.

I’ve just been interviewed by Erin Davies, aka the Historical Fiction Reader, about my latest historical novel, The Priest and the Lily.

Erin had some interesting questions. The one above is the answer to: Which scene ended up on the cutting room floor?

There were many, but I particularly loved the opening scene, described above, although, it was, ahem, probably too flowery.

She also asked me about my inspiration, my characters and what fantasy cast I’d pick!

Let me know what you think!
