ⓘ About Margaret Dickinson

By the time the 90s rolled around, Margaret Dickinson began penning paperbacks based around Lincolnshire on the advice of Darley Anderson her agent. Darley who has been her agent for more than twenty-five years happens to be the agent for very popular authors such as John Connelly and Lee Child. When she takes a break from watercolors and writing, she loves to read a lot though, for the most part, this is for research. For her personal recreation needs, she usually reads her favorite crime fiction authors. Margaret Dickinson’s novel “Plough the Furrow” is set in Lincolnshire and introduces Esther Everatt. She is desperate for a place to say and some work after she was banished by her family. But when war breaks out, Esther learns that only true love could survive the changing seasons.
