'The Welsh Marches is an evocative place. Full of mystery, history, and tiny old houses, it leads easily into Wales - a perfect place to write and to set romantic novels with mysteries and crimes embedded in them.'
This is how Wilma summarises the inspiration for her four novels in the Welsh Marches series and the forty-nine short stories which follow and make up Sevens, Stories to Commute By.
Luckily for her, she was able to escape to this scenic area and begin to write. It is not a gift that many people are given, but with a tiny cottage of her own, an accompanying cottage garden and a husband who is handy with a computer and a coffee pot, the opportunity was too good to ignore.

SEVEN DAYS OF THE WEEK
Starting with the poem Monday's Child, it was easy to form characters - all with different perspectives on life, happiness and success. It was merely a matter then, of bringing them all together for a greater purpose and watching what happened. The stories all happen on one day and gently progress to the evening and the reasons why they are all there.
Monday's Child is fair of face: We meet Melanie, a fashion model who is facing time. What will happen to her when her short-lived career is finished?
Tuesday's Child is full of grace: In this chapter we get to know Tuesday, known as Tew. She has been carrying a deep love that she has never been able to express. Perhaps now...
Wednesday's Child is full of woe: There is always that one person who lives in and loves disappointment and despair whether real or imagined. Wendy is just such a woman.
Thursday's Child has far to go: Theda is the reason why they have all come to this meeting of old school chums. It is not a reunion; it is a cry for help.
Friday's Child is loving and giving: Faith would have been expected to have the greatest success in life. Instead, she got married and nothing was the same again.
Saturday's Child works hard for a living: Sadie was a deep socialist at school, but in the real world became a capitalist. She's hated every minute of it.
Sunday's Child is bonny, blithe, good and gay: Sophie is still a student. She feels safer there and facing the world outside academia is daunting and terrifying.
But Theda needs them all. They, in turn, need something to change in their lives.
