What I enjoyed about writing Welcome to Oakhaven was that the characters just came along as the story developed. I didn't have to plan a protagonist or an antagonist, heroine and anti-heroine, as I prefer, they just belonged in the village. It makes the planning of a story so much easier and I've tried in later books to have the same experience with some success. I'd hate to write detective novels where one must have all kinds of obscure plots and clues, I'd need a chart as big as a living room.http://www.amazon.co.uk/Welcome-Oakhaven-Mrs-Jackson-Settles-ebook/dp/B00LUNMD24/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1406736695&sr=1-1&keywords=sullatober+dalton
