In fact, ...Hi Brian - I think it's unusual too! In fact, I had been thinking about writing a novel about Glastonbury Abbey during the time of Henry VIII, but wasn't quite getting there. Then, separately, I was inspired to start writing the Sargent/Paget mysteries, which of course needed to be set in the late 19th century. By a series of wonderfully serendiptous occurrences, the two stories and time periods came together! And, going forward, I'm going to make it an element of the mysteries -- that the 'crime' that Sargent and Paget are trying to solve will be linked to something in the past -- and I'm really looking forward to creating all sorts of wonderful time-travelling links (so to speak).
