		<description><![CDATA[Hello again!

The past few months have flown by in a flurry of late night writing sessions but finally, and I have to admit at the very last possible moment, I posted my submission to the Romantic Novelists Association New Writer's Scheme.  I've slashed, edited and re-written big chunks but one of my biggest concerns lay in making my characters thoughts and values ring true.    So it was with great interest that I read Elizabeth Bailey's guest post regarding the creation of her new Georgian detective. Ottilia.   I hope you enjoy it too.   

HOW THEY LIVED THEN - DOES IT HELP OR HINDER MY SLEUTH? 

Excitement this month as my first historical crime novel THE GILDED SHROUD has just come out in the US.  These days, due to online resources, it can still be bought outside ofAmerica.  This started me thinking about the speed of communication and the global village in which we live in the twenty-first century, as compared with the world my investigator heroine Ottilia inhabits.

She operates with very little of the forensic help now available.  Ottilia’s doctor brother has initiated her into medical lore, so she can read a dead body.  But even this is limited to what was known at the latter end of the eighteenth century.

		<description><![CDATA[Tunbridge Wells is a place most usually associated with respectability and middle class conservatism.   A relatively young town we think of its heyday as the elegant Georgian period – dandies in fine clothes, taking the waters and promenading in the Pantiles.  But there are elements of a darker past that are less well-known.

		<description><![CDATA[From the 1740’s a gentleman’s waistcoat was far more than an item of clothing it was the ‘designer’ garment of the day and a way of expressing not only status and wealth but personality. And, according to Jo Wiltcher, the costume expert for the Tunbridge Wells Museum, its production was a rather involved affair. <img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=rachaelhale.wordpress.com&amp;blog=12356600&amp;post=387&amp;subd=rachaelhale&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
