What does London mean to you? I think of the Beatles, and “London Bridge is falling down, falling down” and Jack the Ripper and that scene in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows where the dementors are destroying the Millennium Bridge. One of my favorite scenes I’ve ever written is in my guilty-pleasure WIP So I Married a Demon Hunter in which my MC (Katie) stabs a demon in full formal dress on Durward Street in the rain.

For those of you lovelies just tuning, I’ve been sharing my European adventures on Saturdays over the last month! Each of these posts standalone, but if you want to check out all the other beautiful destinations, […]

This is the third post in an eight post series about my recent Transatlantic cruise and Adventures in Europe! If you’re just tying in, don’t worry, all these posts can standalone by themselves.
