Poor Sally

Poor Sally Howe, heroine of Plotting for Beginners, has fallen on hard times. She's been troubled by a stalker - Glenys Wallis, a blonde barrister - who moved to Stoneymoor just to be near to Sally. Last week there was a nasty scene in Sally's study, and the upshot was the loss of Sally's writerly plait. Catch up with what's been happening to Sally in the Plotting for Beginners Blog...
