Authors often complain that it’s hard to answer the question, “Where do you get your ideas?”. An understandable frustration, as I’m sure there isn’t a standard answer from one idea to another. And in fact, most novels contain a multitude of ideas, even some which didn’t make the final cut and ended up in the “Cut text” folder on the author’s computer.

According to contemporary reports, the original house was something of a rarity: a Palladian villa that managed to be asymmetrical and ugly. It was perhaps no surprise that its architect, William de Quincey, eventually died in a prison tha ..read more
