    Explaining how she had been able to turn out so many books, who said, "When I finish a book I say a prayer and God gives me the plot for the next one"?

    Question #15363. Asked by batch.

    Tabby Tom

    I thought it could only be one person, and I was right!

    In 1991, Barbara Cartland was made a Dame of the British Empire. She said she was sure the honor was not for her contributions to literature but for her efforts on behalf of charities and the gypsies.

    Asked where her ideas for so many books came from, she told The Associated Press: "Prayer."

    "I say a prayer. I really do. I say, 'Please God, get me a plot.' It's absolutely extraordinary: Then a plot comes."
