Jennifer Pittam works as a Clerk to the Court in the mad, bad City of London. On occasion, the job takes her all over the British Isles. When not at her computer she scribbles, sketches, takes photographs and generally hangs out . Rather fond of those stuffed Medijool dates. And a nice glass of London Gin.

Fight It Out
Today I wrote a fight scene, between my protagonist Thomas Tarling and his brother-in-law, Zackariah Scarrott. It's something I've been working up to for a while. I've been at pains to show Thomas in particular as a 'real' man with hopes, disappointments and feelings as well as a manly 'hard' side. I was becoming concerned that he might seem too fearful for the hero of a Georgian novel, so I set this fight on the edge of Bethnal Green (which in those days was a wilder place than now). A long writing day, but a satisfying one.
