Nbsp  In the acknowledgements of Seven Sisters, you credit Tom Bazley for giving you one of the best lines in the book. What was it?

I don't remember the exact page or which character said it, but the line was "When you're losing, only the feedman knows your name." Tom Bazley was married to my good friend, Clare. They were racehorse trainers at Los Alamitos racetrack and when I heard him make that comment one night when we were watching one of their horses, I thought it was so funny and so particular to the industry that I had to use it.

More.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
