Wish I Was There

Product Information

I love his personality and the fact that they have to make allowances for a corgi’s little legs on this adventure. Also I imagine he had his own adventures in the heist crew’s house while Mer and Fane were off recruiting Ifanna. And finally, I felt like I’d written something that I thought was decent—which turned into my debut novel. More importantly, Mer should be positioned to get everything she wants as long as she remembers the most important rule a spy ever learns: always plan two escape routes–especially when magic is involved in The Drowned Woods (2022) by Emily Lloyd-Jones.

I always used to think they were cute, but in recent years I have become ridiculously excited over corgi goodness. Emily Lloyd-Jones grew up on a vineyard in rural Oregon, where she played in evergreen forests and learned to fear sheep. They got married fairly swiftly and Mum fell pregnant but the relationship was floundering even before she was ready to give birth.When the London season finished, Dad stayed with the company for the summer at Stratford and moved up there into a rather miserable-sounding caravan, where he stayed on his own for a few weeks. Talented beautiful and determined Emily sets off to Hollywood after her award winning gripping debut at 16 Wish you were here.

As for The Drowned Woods, I knew I needed an animal that was closer to the fairy folk and magic of Welsh legends. Trained by the king’s own spymaster, Renfrew, Mer is well-equipped to hide but even she doesn’t have the resources to disappear–especially not from her own mentor. She watched her father at his work as a gravedigger and now, after his disappearance, it is Ryn who puts the village’s dead to rest. Although it was famous for its liberal approach to education, the school was attended by well-heeled, middle-class pupils.Along with three other characters, they’re on a quest to destroy a magical well that keeps the prince’s lands safe. Like I said this is difficult as I'm finding it hard to detach the writings of a book from the trials and deep sadness of this young womens life. Rick Groen from The Globe and Mail praised Lloyd's performance as "letter perfect – her accent impeccable and her energy immense".

In fact, during this time he had written the film script for The Go Between and began shooting in the summer of 1970 in Norfolk.Uli was from Vienna and had come over to England in 1938 as a refugee with, my Dad says, nothing but endless envelopes full of photographs. The film's director, Rachel Talalay, states she fired Lloyd for refusing to shave her head for the role.
