Woking author Lelita Baldock is
currently preparing her fourth novel, A Machine of Fingers, for
publication through her agent, InterSaga.
Lelita's new book is set at a crossroads in the history of France as the country strives to heal from the excesses of the French Revolution. A Machine of Fingers is intended to be a dramatic page-turner based on unexplored history, driven by intrigue and powerful female protagonists.
A historical fiction mystery with elements of women’s fiction, Lelita says that her new novel should interest readers who enjoy stories derived from history that are seated in raw reality. It uncovers the little-known impact of the French Revolution and the race to mechanise textiles on the female lace-workers of France.
Lelita has also been busy with
many other projects; she’s in talks to arrange a book signing event in
Richmond, Surrey, that will also be open to her fellow authors. She has also been invited
as a guest speaker to an audience at a Historical Fiction retreat in Spain and is
frantically looking at dates and whether this will be something she can readily
accept. There are also a series of Literary Festivals coming up in London during
September and October that she hopes to attend.
Lelita has also recently re-released her crime fiction novel The Unsound Sister with an eye-catching new cover in preparation for a sequel.
