I’ve never spent so many months working on a novel outline before. The combination of real historical events, a farming season AND a pregnancy are complicating things. I would be lost without Aeon Timeline to keep it all straight but even then, wow. It’s a LOT.

I just want to write the thing! 😭

Earlier this week I walked in their footsteps again at Dartington Hall.

This view may not have looked that different in 1573 - kitchen and hall as now. But the arches? Remains of windows in buildings in second courtyard that Emery suggests dates from John Holand’s time (c1390s) not part of Sir Arthur Champernowne’s sixteenth century remodelling.

On this day in 1536 Sir John Gilbert, the eldest of Katherine Raleigh’s sons was born.

His magnificent tomb is in Exeter Cathedral where his effigy lies alongside his wife Elizabeth Chudleigh . The Gilbert coat of arms and the Gilbert arms quartered with those of Chudleigh, are prominent and a rather endearing squirrel, the Gilbert family crest lies at John’s feet.

Doing research for my next WWII novel. Advertisements in old newspapers crack me up.

Like, don’t you just hate it when your stomach is so upset it makes your boobs hurt?

CARRIE SOTO IS BACK received 100,745 votes and won this year's #Goodreads Choice Award in the #HistoricalFiction category. The book is based in 1994. This does not fit the generally accepted rule of *50 years before the book was written.*

And yet. Over 100k readers have no problem with that. We may need to reconsider that definition.

I promise, once I'm done watching School of Danger, get prepared for the influx of meme-worthy screenshots. As much fun as I'm having learning about SOE history, some of the faces these guys are making are pure gold.
Sometimes, being a #HistoricalFictionAuthor is fun when you find the right sources. :blobcatcoy:

Tell me you write historical fiction without telling me you write historical fiction.
