All of my Saltbury novels have a 1^st person narrator.  That usually means either Hazel Fauld, or her best friend Tina Burns.  There are a few other voices still to come in the series, notably Rock goddess Debbie Stewart, but ‘History Girls’, the book due out next, has a new variation on the theme.

The 1^st person viewpoint is a discipline that has to be strictly managed.  Unlike a more all-seeing 3^rd person narrator, a 1^st person has to be pretty much an eye witness.  They can only tell the story as they have personally experienced it, or at least been told about it by some other source.

But ‘History Girls’ acquires to what amounts to multiple 1^st person narrators thanks to quotes from (fictional) historical documents, including 19^th century diaries.  Tina is still the main narrator, but we also have 1^st person accounts told by people who have been dead for over a century.  It’s quite an interesting combination.
