Day 1
I
was a reporter on a local paper for several years then changed direction to
work in a library. Both of these careers influenced me in a way. The newspaper
writing exposed me to all sorts of human interest stories which fired my
imagination and, in the library, I was able to discover writers who also
influenced me.
My
novels are loosely described as historical romances and |I have set stories in
various periods from Victorian times up to the Second World War. I love doing
the research and putting my heroines into different situations.
Since
a very young age I have always been an avid reader of all genres (except
westerns) but I was drawn to romance with a historical background because of my
admiration for Catherine Cookson who was my favourite writer as a
teenager. I always dreamed of writing
like her – not sure if I have achieved that though.
My
latest release is Song of Memories, a story of lost love and eventual
reconciliation.
My
next book will be ‘Madeleine’s Enterprise’. Left destitute after the death of
her father, Madeleine has to find a way to recoup the family’s fortunes. Her
mother thinks marriage to a rich man is the answer but Madeleine refuses to
marry for money and determines to start her own business.
My
website is www.robertagrieve.co.uk. I am on
several Facebook groups including WriteWordsWrite and Goodreads.
