It's delightful to read and I "hear" the accents in the speech of the characters. Just one more way to escape into the book.

I faced a choice when publishing whether to Americanise or not, and eventually I decided to 'be British' since that's authentically who I am and how I write, and as the characters are British, I wanted them to speak naturally. <br /><br />I too quite enjoyed learning Americanisms when the tables were turned and I lived and studied in the States. In my first night at the dorm I caused mass hilarity by asking where the lifts were, and in a supermarket early on I bemused staff by requesting squash (not a vegetable in the UK, but concentrated cordial to mix with water). And don't even get me started on customs: I caused quite a stir WALKING to Wallmart; six separate drivers pulled over and tried to give me a lift. Happy days! :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
