This is the home of The Blue Chair Blog, written intermittently by me — Suzanne. Here, I write about home, travels, books, and other preoccupations. I’ve also completed a historical novel called (at least for the moment) Of Ships and Sealing Wax. It’s currently on submission to publishers, so I have started writing a new novel. No details to share yet!

Please visit ofshipsandsealingwax.com to see how things are progressing with the books, plus other novelly things. I plan to include tidbits I particularly like about the novel’s setting — England in the late 18th Century, especially the naval ports of Portsmouth, Falmouth, and Chatham.
