But wouldn't his invention of the telegraph change the course of the future that he knows? Will events still remain the same when he mess up the timeline?LĂșthien84https://www.blogger.com/profile/15390711363301378521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-45457792020642090032019-04-19T14:10:10.129+01:002019-04-19T14:10:10.129+01:00Hi Deborah Ann.

I am not sure when we moved over to pronouncing it more like how it's spelled, whereas things like handkerchief and lieutenant we would still pronounce as if they were spelled differently, i.e. hankerchief and leftenant.Cerihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01908542708518435282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060237114571991862.post-60567185439625897502019-04-19T13:57:30.549+01:002019-04-19T13:57:30.549+01:00Glad to hear you enjoyed it, Ginna!

They came up with the giveaways as a standard way to stir up interest in the readership. As for "different," as you described, Perilous Siege is a break (of sorts) for me. My previous three novels have been more in the "What If" category, in which I took a coincidental event in P&P and went in a different direction. This one involved injecting a new and radically different character into the mix, stirring well, and baking for, oh, the several years it took me to finish this one!C. P.

He's shocked at being so sore, but riding uses different muscles. As for me, I LIKE riding in automobiles (actually, I drive a full-size pickup truck!). I did NOT want to make a living as a farmer!
