Welcome to the Darkside...

...join me, Akasha Savage, as I brave the deepest dungeons and scale the misty mountains to achieve my dream: to see my novel Bathory in print. I will take you by the hand and keep you beside me as I cross this uncharted territory...



...let us step into the moonlit darkness together...

What's going on 'ere then?

Sometimes I really love being a writer and doing the research thing. Today I've spoken to a really helpful Police Sergeant and a just as helpful Head of Police Media Services.

A big THANK YOU to both these guys for helping me get my policey facts right!

  3. Folks are often quite eager to help writers. I think people really love to talk about what they do.

  4. Very cool. I always tell writers (when they ask) that one of the best ways to research is to conduct interviews with people who know first hand about said topic.

    Charles ~ I'm sure you're right, I've always found people most helpful whenever I've wanted information and I find the facts they are willing to tell to impart so interesting.

    onipar ~ I always get nervous when I have to interview folk, but the benefits are so worth the nerves!
