This weekend, as a break from editing my new book and preparing for Christmas, I did some research into Bridget Jules. She was the Adelaide friend and partner in crime of Susan Mason who is mentioned in my book ‘Susan’. I hadn’t been able to find out much about her previously, except that she was a prostitute, and probably Irish.

After discovering from a police report that she was originally Bridget Bradley, I was able to find out quite a lot about her sad and chaotic life. I’ve written a post about it over on my Clogs and Clippers blog – have a peek.
Now it’s back to the Christmas preparations!
