I hope you keep up your hard work and continue to give us years more pleasure with your novels. Reply I love reading Dilly Courts novels .I finish a book and already have the next novel on hand to read. If I may just put in a little criticism that not to use the modern word of GOT or GET please. Its a word that is a pet hate of mine and there are so many more pleasant descriptive words that yourself and or publishers could use in tune with the era that is being written about. Dilly Court grew up in northeast London and resides in Dorset on the beautiful Jurassic Coast with her husband with whom she has two grown kids and four grandkids. She started her writing career writing scripts for television commercials. Sorry Dilly that doesn’t mean I’ll not continue to enjoy your books ,it’ll mean I’ll continue to replace got or get in my mind to the word /words I think should be written. The colder the cruel grip of winter grows, the more mouths she finds herself having to feed. Can Nancy's good heart and strength bring them all through?
However when one good deed goes sour, a dangerous foe threatens to ruin all of them. Is she going to be able to save her new buddies along with her future? If she’s able to, there’s a Christmas gift that’s waiting sure to change her life forever. There’s a dashing man she was thinking would be the hero all of a sudden develops some unattractive traits and will upset Dilly, along with her heroine. Then there’s times a rough diamond, that looked destined to swing from a noose’s end, winds up being an absolute charmer and she finds herself falling for them, so the heroine’s got zero chance of escaping.Her heart may have been broken by love but it's big enough to help those less fortunate than herself, and Nancy takes these unloved orphans in - but when one of them is accused of a serious crime, the neighbourhood turns against her. The colder the cruel grip of winter grows, the more mouths she finds herself having to feed. Can Nancy’s good heart and strength bring them all through?
Each day, Dilly begins at 8:30 and writes until lunch time. Some days she’ll get so immersed in her story that she forgets everything and time will pass so fast that, by the time she finally does stop, she can’t believe two to three hours have gone by. She’s been in some other world her characters who make their own story up actually inhabit. A chance encounter brings Nancy Sunday to the streets of London, where she finds herself amongst a band of street urchins.
But sitting at a computer for hours isn’t too good on the figure, however so she typically takes her dog for a walk.
Great Deal
