If you didn’t know, there is a Character Guide too.
A lot of readers of the Midlife Recorder in Gretna Green series ask for a character guide. But it would be multiple spoilers in disguise unless I kept it so bland it was almost useless. (Look, sometimes even clarifying a sibling relationship is a spoiler.)
So you can’t have that from me until the first ten books in the series are completed. But one is built into the books.
