Aug day 1: Intro day. If you could hang out with one of your side characters for a day, who would you choose? Why?

JGA Peddle. He’s a very insightful person. He runs on the anxious side, but he’s a great supporter. He writes the best letters and has complete mastery of language.
He is also based on a real person, who wrote real letters in 1890’s Australia.
I’m actually in love with him, and spend probably too much time wondering how much he’d recognise Brisbane now.
He’s a side character in the Charleville historical novel, but I might give him a time-travelling short story all of his own.
I miss him.

LOVE AND MURDER IN PARIS and Versailles—a gorgeously suspenseful historical novel captures all the opulence and desperate poverty of 17th century France, and the all-consuming court scandal of the Affair of the Poisons. SOLID A

The hardship when you're looking at recent studies of the and you give an internal whoop when you find titles dedicated to religion in the C19 historical novel, or the Cromwellian years -- and then neither title looks at Wales in any shape or form. No references to Wales as a historical actor/location, no selection of novels set in Wales, leave alone Welsh authors producing works. It's like writing about water without saying it's wet, when you dedicate a whole study to analysing the religious historical novel in C19 Britain and not even mention Wales even most cursorily as a place where you weren't able to swing a cat without hitting a revivalist in the face.

Sometimes research life is not fun when you do and have only very few people around you to talk shop with.

An interview asked how I fashioned the personality of my sleuth Owen Archer. Much arose out of his personal crisis, a captain of archers half-blinded in an attack; being a Welshman in c14 England; the rest through his interactions with people in his first investigation, and their reactions to him. How did/do you develop your ?
