If you were going to write a book...

My main passion has always been history, in particular the Middle Ages. I have always been interested in food production and cooking too, and have considered at times writing a book about eating through the ages. Although it's been done a few times now, I think.

I'm already writing up the family history, but the biggest scandals are too recent (living relatives) too write up yet

...what would it be about? With all this time on our hands, we could all start writing that book that we each have in us.

I’m torn between a murder mystery set in a boarding school with an ageing schoolmistress as the amateur sleuth, a scandalous history of my family as dredged up on Ancestry, and a ‘how to’ manual of ageing gracefully. One of those is way outside my area of expertise.

What would other GNetters write about?
