Since I'm writing about Puritan England, Sundays really, really, really matter. Businesses close, and people sped the day at church. You just can't blithely say, "The next morning..." without putting together a calendar. <br /><br />Thankfully my copy editor was on it.

In the beginning of The Plum Tree I made a big deal about the MC hiding an illegal radio from the Gestapo, but when they tore the house apart later looking for her Jewish boyfriend, they somehow didn't see the radio under her bed!! DOH!! That slipped by me, my beta readers, my agent, and my editor! I owe the copy editor big time!!
