Extra Notes:<\/h3>\n

A word of explanation: there seemed little point in sending you a pic of my computer desk when my inspiration lies elsewhere:\u00a0 on my altar and within my collection of reference books. To explain: on my \u2018altar\u2019 are objects that I\u2019ve collected over the years: the Arthurian knight was given to me by a dear friend while I was writing the Shalott trilogy<\/i>; the oak leaves and small figurine of the monk come from my travels in England while researching The Janna Mysteries<\/i>; the rainbow ribbon reminds me of workshops I gave at the Quest for Life Foundation at Bundanoon \u2013 wonderful weeks of discovery and a personal journey for all of us. The carved rabbit reminds me of the carving carried by Tad (and Froggy) in my novel Ghost Boy<\/i>; there are crystals of inspiration, hope, peace and creativity, as well as shells, rocks and seed pods from our travels around Australia, and I just love the horn! They all rest on a beautiful crocheted cloth made for me by the young African woman who cared for my mother during her declining years. Also important to me is the oil burner I keep on my desk, with multiple fragrances which I use according to my mood.<\/p>\n

Felicity’s bookshelves.<\/p><\/div>\n

This is only one of my bookcases, but it\u2019s the main one in my study. At the top are copies of my books, with the latest books displayed: A Ring Through Time <\/i>and The Little Penguins of Manly<\/i>. Beneath are the most relevant of my reference books: medieval history and society, including biographies of Stephen and the Empress Matilda (for the Janna Mysteries<\/i>), herbs and healing in the middle ages + identification guides, guides to writing + dictionaries and thesauri, books on mythology and also on Arthuriana, which I\u2019m using (again) for the mss I\u2019m currently working on \u2013 this time a novel for adults. I hope your readers find this of interest! It was an interesting exercise for me, looking around my study at all the stuff I\u2019ve collected over the years and remembering why I saved it all. Thanks for asking me to be part of your blog series!<\/p>\n
