I was very honoured to be the first guest on my chum Dan Alatorre‘s new show, Writer Rants, to talk about PorterGirl books First Lady Of The Keys and The Vanishing Lord. Here are some edited highlights; whilst almost two hours of Daniel talking about how great I am might be good for my ego, no one really wants to listen to that. But what you might want to listen to, however, are insights into how I built up the Old College world and developed the characters, the truth about what really happened at Cambridge University and how I fell in love at first sight at the Royal Opera House…

Hi Lucy, I only had time to watch the first five minutes the other day but have been sitting in my garden watching the whole thing tonight. Great interview. You and Dan are real professionals, but very genuine and passionate about what you do too. I’ll keep saying this, I’m hugely admirative.
My husband’s forearms are the best bit about him, well the second best bit, so I totally get where you’re coming from.
I’m off to order your first two books. Good luck with the third!

Thank you Juliet you are most kind. Dan is brilliant, so much fun and makes the whole process so easy. Good to hear other ladies appreciating forearms! My regards to your husband and his fine forearms! I do hope you enjoy the books, thank you x
You are welcome Lucy. i will rub Hubby’s forearms on your behalf when I get home from work later. He will be very pleased. The books are supposed to arrive on Wednesday. I will let you know when I finish them. I ordered Dan’s Poggibonsi too. So lots of yummy reading for the holibags. J
Very kind of you regarding the forearms! Looks like you are all set for summer reading, I am very honoured and I know Dan will be delighted too. Hope work goes well and you have a super day. Lucy
Thank you!!
