Spending a lot of time trawling through newspaper archives for writing research, but I'm always getting distracted by bizarre little stories and characters, like this drunk Dorset vicar! Entirely irrelevant, but fascinating. Wonder what became of him...

Tolkien is in there because of its cultural influence on the 1970s. I know it was published outside the decade 😉

Hopefully this doesn’t fall into The BlueSky Abyss. 🤞

My next book takes place in 1979, help a gal out & drop some killer books from (or influenced) the 1970s that you recommend as a must read, any genre. TY ❤️

(Tolkien = Led Zeppelin)
