If only they knew…Maia Walczak

 If only people knew the random and strange things you have to research when writing a book. I find myself doing the weirdest google searches and sitting for minutes on end staring into space wondering the strangest of things.

Where do pelicans live?

Is she the kind of gal that says tits, boobs or chest?

Can the sun appear to set into the sea on the Hel Peninsula?

What’s the most common hardwood in French Polynesia?

Tattoo or no tattoo?

Does pine wood float?

Will the average reader know who Tamara de Lempicka is?

I hope I haven’t given away what I’m writing about…

a Polish female lumberjack living in Tahiti with a pet pelican…

set in the 20s. Don’t steal my idea.
