I have been self-isolated for eight weeks. My family keep in touch by phone and e-mail but it will be a relief when we can enjoy each other's company again.
By nature, I am talkative. Cut off from face to face contact with friends and family I almost began talking to the characters in my new novel, Saturday's Child, which will be published in July by BooksWeLove.
When I wrote Sunday's Child, I did not plan to write six more books with titles taken from the nursery rhyme which ends. But the child who is born on the Sabbath day is bonny and blithe, good and gay.
Each novel in the series is independent of the previous ones. Each heroine is based on the line from the nursery rhyme. The last one is Annie, who works hard for a living.
Writing, research and making notes for my next novel and 'writerly' business occupies more than half of each day. While working, and in case anyone doubts it, writing etc. is hard work, to use a cliché, time flies by, so self isolation could be more tedious.
To read the first three chapters of each of my novels please visit my website

Rosemary Morris writes intriguing, romantic fiction rich in historical detail. The characters are not 21st century ones dressed in costume. Each novel has a theme, such as post traumatic syndrome, before it was diagnosed and a young woman's search for her birth parents, which are familiar.
