Hi All
Another hot, dry day. It's been warm and dry for weeks it seems. It feels like a Mediteranean holiday. I have done little writing in the last week, as I have been rushing around getting ready for the Romantic Novelists Association Conference in London tomorrow, Friday to Sunday. And then two weeks holiday.
I'm looking forward to the Conference... the holiday too. But being with other writers would be good for me. I am hoping to return with lots of fresh new ideas and spark....but then I go off on holiday for two weeks. I will write something then... notebook and pen jobby. I hardly ever switch off from ideas for new plots in my head.
Will be in touch when I return.

Set in 1917 Trinidad, twelve year old Amina becomes very ill with typhoid fever and close to death. Miraculously, she begins to recover, but is horrified to discover that her parents have broken their promise to her, and a marriage is arranged. She hoped to remain in education to become a teacher. But she is prepared to fight, and together with her friend Sumati, they make a pact. But Sumati's falls in love, and takes a path which endangers both of them.
About Me
- Marilyn Rodwell
- The Wedding Drums - my novel set in an early 20C village in Trinidad is almost here. Two young girls, Amina and Sumati plot to escape their arranged marriages and plan to live life following their own dreams. But Sumati falls in love and runs away, putting Amina's plans in jeopardy. Neither of them bank on what is in store for them. Soon they face the adult world of scheming men, corruption, prostitution and violence, and life in the village will never be the same again.
