” ‘And what are you reading, Miss–?’ ‘Oh! it is only a novel!” replies the young lady, while she lays down her book with affected indifference, or momentary shame.
‘It is only (a novel); a work in which the greatest powers of the mind are displayed, in which the most thorough knowledge of human nature, the happiest delineation of its varieties, the liveliest effusions of wit and humour, are conveyed to the world in the best-chosen language.’ “
–Jane Austen

Angie, you sell yourself way too short as a writer and your research is impeccable! If you are indeed writing a book, let’s bounce ours off each other.
Mine’s about fútbol…tempted yet?

Angelyn,
maybe you could write a piece about the wonderful Whig ‘King of Clubs’ club (see Wikipedia for an introduction). I’m sure your readers would enjoy it.
