Friday Fun Facts - book 4 of my Shetland series

Picture
The final facts were difficult to create knowing that no one, outside of the editorial team, has read a copy. I've avoided plot spoilers which would ruin your enjoyment come September.
1. I used to teach ‘A Christmas Carol’ by Dickens to GCSE pupils at a local secondary school.
2. As a child, my favourite picture was ‘Special pleader’ by Charles Burton Barber, a common ‘over the mantelpiece’ picture in the 70s. It isn’t a Sheltie that’s featured but a rough collie, which reminds me of Lassie, but still I adore the sable colouring and the billow of white upon the dog’s chest.
3. The song sung by the duo at the auditions is actually my morning alarm call! It makes me smile each day.
4. Some of the animal names for dogs, puppies and alpacas were offered by the general public after my request for suggestions on social media. Their names are listed in the book’s ‘Acknowledgements’.
5. I also loved teaching Shakespeare’s ‘Romeo and Juliet’ and Steinbeck’s ‘Of Mice and Men’.
6. I know one of the presenters from QVC and she’s an absolute doll! I don’t know how she keeps talking non-stop whilst measuring, demoing, trying on or listening to constant instructions in her ear.
7. When I was four, I sung a solo on stage at Sunday school. The stage seemed incredibly large and empty positioned beneath huge stone archways and leaded windows. 
8. I used to work in a high street bank, so encountered many people struggling with money management.
9. The word ‘peacock’ is in every book I have written - I was particularly delighted with the placement of this peacock feather.
10. I cried whilst editing this book. Cried again at each stage of my editor’s edits plus, the final proofreading. I’ve had this cast of characters inside my head every day since April 2019 until April 2022 – it’s going to difficult to say ‘goodbye’.
