No, My Publisher Has Always Done The

I Had An Idea For A Story About A Young Woman Who Was Living With People Who Were Different, Not Just Superficially Different - Such As Hair Colour, Or Eye Colour, Or Skin Colour - But Different In Some Significant Way.

They Stared At Each Other, Wanting Each Other, Drawn To Each Other, But Their Silent Shout Of Love Went Unheard In The Roar Of Misunderstanding, And The Clatter Of Culturally Ingrained Beliefs.

And That's How I Start Myself. I Usually Go Back A Couple Of Pages, Maybe To The Beginning Of The Chapter, And I Start Reading. And As I'm Reading, I'm Tweaking - Putting In A Different Word, Changing The Syntax, Putting That Clause Over There, You Know That Sort Of Thing.

The Idea Led Me Into The Research, Which Continues To Give Me More Ideas For The Story.
