Just think, you can stay in your PJ's and
house slippers while touring the world, visiting exotic places, playing games, winning prizes and having fun meeting new people.
A few things that wouldn't have ended up in my new novel, The Wednesday Daughters, if I hadn't traveled to England
while writing it: a blue cottage door; a snowbow arcing over Windermere (which in England, means the lake); a castle that isn't really a castle; a leather patch in a manor
house wood floor; three waterfalls spilling into a single pool before flowing under a miniature bridge -
house; a coffin road; a
slipper tub not in the bathroom, but evocatively at the foot of a bed.
Visitors are often cool, which sometimes takes me a
while to notice because I'm so used to wearing a sweater, warm socks, and
slippers around the
house.
