Seven Things About Me
- Luccia Gray is my pen name. I chose it to reinvent myself as a writer. It is an anagram of my ‘real’ name, Lucy Garcia, which isn’t my real name either, because it’s my nickname and my first surname only, and I have a middle name and two surnames of my own, because I have never used my husband’s surname, which would be my third surname. But what’s in a name anyway? As Juliet so rightly asked Romeo.
- I am writing a neo-Victorian trilogy called, The Eyre Hall Trilogy. I have already published the first volume, All Hallows at Eyre Hall, and I am writing the second volume, Twelfth Night at Eyre Hall.
- I was born and brought up in London, but I live in the south of Spain.
- I have three wonderful children and three fantastic grandchildren.
- I love reading. I combine reading and rereading the classics, especially 19th and 20th century literature, with contemporary fiction by established novelists and new or independent authors.
- I love writing. It is what keeps (and has kept) me sane. I would have given up on myself (and everyone else) if I didn’t write.
- My three favourite novels are Persuasion, Jane Eyre, and Rebecca. I reread them regularly, and every time I do so, I feel differently about them.
I am nominating the following blogs because I think they’re lovely.
I’m not sure whether they are willing to accept or have time to accept, but in any case, they are lovely blogs, so please check them out!
Thank you for being part of this wonderful blogging universe, and I’m looking forward to reading your posts!
well deserved – Congratulations – excellent achievement – Keep up the great work!!

Congratulations, Lucy, and thanks for the nomination. I’m quite behind in responding to my blog awards but I still appreciate them. I’m very pleased you think my blog is lovely!
This is good timing because my current post refers to you and the contested nature of the location of Thornfield in Jane Eyre. I’d be interested in your feedback.

Thank you for referring to me in your latest blog entry. It’s very kind of you. I’m looking forward to the Jane Eyre walks you’re organising. I hope I can make the dates. Any news? I’ll be posting about the various options for Thornfalcon Hall soon. By the way, yours is a lovely post!

Wow. I saw ‘Geoff’ on your list and kind of wondered but I couldn’t get the link to work. Today, while still having trouble it seemed to take me back to me (if that makes sense) so I’m guessing (hoping) you meant me as having a lovely blog. Isn’t that the nicest compliment? I’m very touched at the thought and as always happens have found another fascinating (lovely) blog by following the links. Thank you for the compliment; thank you for the links; thank you for hosting such a lovely blog.

Of course it was you Geoff! Sorry, but I missed out the http://, so some links didn’t work, Sorry I’m late in replying and fixing, but I’m on holiday at the beach, with my three children, three grandchildren, and niece etc. and I’m overwhelmed with so much to do! It’s great fun. but a 24-hour job! Time is no longer my own…
Thank you for having a lovely blog and being a supportive blogger! Looking forward to your post!
