I love blue, and since I began writing, I have come to the conclusion that I am completely and utterly obsessed with it.

Blue book covers.

Protagonists with blue eyes.

Stories set in locations close to water.

So, it got me thinking back to when this fascination with all things blue began…

I discovered most likely from birth.

I live on the coast, with a sea view, and I get a bit jittery if I’m too far away from the water.  And I know why.  My descendants hail from Shetland; a mixture of fisherman, merchant navy masters, and a founding member of The Shetland Times.

My love of blue is clearly in the genes…
