    You took my favourite when you mentioned Dorothy L Sayers’s Harriet Vane! However, another of my favourite characters is also a writer: Adrien English in Josh Lanyon’s mystery series. Fatal Shadows is the first book, in which Adrien’s incentive to investigate the death of one of his friends is the fact that he seems to be the main suspect. The fact that this means he sees quite a lot of the very attractive policeman in charge of the investigation, Jake Riordan, is just luck.

    We don’t really see Adrien getting much writing done, but he keeps at it and is published.

    Ariadne Oliver is one of my favourite characters and I agree, I’ve always thought she was based a least partially on Agatha Christie herself.

      I’m sure she was. Did they not both carry round bags of apples or am I dreaming that?
