The "Brit a Day" series

What does a months-long parade of attractive British men have to do with fiction, you might well ask? These gentlemen have inspired some lovely scenes, part of the life I live in my head. Over time, some of these scenes reach out to one another and begin to form a story. For the present, each one of these pictures provides a writing prompt for me, a way to keep me writing with a sense of passion and narrative, even when the stories are not yet fully formed.

A Brit a Day [#220]

The uniform is from 30 years in the future to the battle of Culloden, but Jason Isaacs has some skill at playing a Redcoat, and a villanous one to boot. Fresh from an engagement as Mel Gibson's nemesis in 'The Patriot', I cast Jason as Jonathan "Black Jack" Randall, Frank's ancestor and a British Army officer of the nastiest kind.
