Last week, I enjoyed revisiting the image that helped start off Shining in the Sun, so this week I thought I’d share one of the images that inspired me when I was writing The Wages of Sin

It’s technically not quite right for Jasper, who has black hair and red-brown, sherry-coloured eyes. But the spirit of it is perfect, with that half-seen, is-he-sinister-or-isn’t-he beauty, with a handful of cobwebs and a challenging air.

I don’t know why, but I appear to be primarily inspired by pictures (and TV/movies) rather than by other people’s books. This is probably a good thing! At any rate, I thought I’d share a few of the images that have inspired me over the years. This one (along with the hazy memories of a glorious summer holiday) was part of the inspiration behind Shining in the Sun, my Cornish summer holiday romance.
