VANESSA
So I have not written a plumbean since last February. I have a really really good reason. I have been writing, editing, rewriting, writing some more and finally finishing my second book! It is the story of the painter Vanessa Bell and her famous sister, the writer, Virginia Woolf. The outrageous brilliant artistic literary friends are all there and the story is set in glamorous bohemian pre-war London. It was huge fun to write and absolutely amazing to work with my magical editors at Ballantine/Random House in the USA and Bloomsbury in the UK and now it is coming out next January in a beautiful hardback with the pretty ragged edges that I love!

I learned about your book yesterday on Passages to the Past and I am SO excited to read this! I love this time period, I love reading about Virginia Woolf and I really enjoyed "Exit the Actress!" Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I am so pleased you like Woolf and this time period!
ReplyDeleteI've been thinking about you! Glad to know you were hard at work on another intriguing story. You're the queen of research, so I know it'll be good! Can't wait. :-)
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, I forgot...I love the cover of the new book. It pulls you right in!
ReplyDeleteJune! It is so lovely to hear from you! I am so happy you like the cover!
ReplyDeleteI was so excited to see this post in my inbox! I must admit I have read very little of Virginia Woolf's works but I love reading novels set in this time period. I have a feeling it will be just as fabulous as Exit the Actress! Congratulations Priya!
