#WritingWonders 4/30 — If your MC met a psychic, what would she ask?
He, actually, {#OwenArcher)--it's 1377 and he would assume the psychic was a skilled healer, like his friend and teacher Magda Digby. He would ask her what she knew of Tom Merchet's past, anything that would help him find his missing friend.

5🌟amazon🇬🇧#OwenArcher 10: "Another great story from Candace Robb full of suspicion & action as two great families vie to have a member of their family being the 2nd most powerful prelate in the land. Well thought out & written in her inimitable style." 💚Thank you, Paul. #bookstodon #books #medieval #literature @bookstodon

A 5 star review for The Riverwoman's Dragon on goodreads: You must read the entire series, you are transported back in time & become part of the fabric of York in that time. The stories are so well written, the characters so alive, the description of the area so vivid, oh & the icing on the cake, these are murder mysteries!!!!! ...To Candace Robb please keep writing more, I love them, to the rest of you, please read them, you won't be disappointed. Thank you, Alison! @bookstodon #OwenArcher

My latest blog post about why I've been rereading a pair of earlier books in my historical mystery series. #OwenArcher @bookstodon @medievodons #HistoryMystery #CrimeSeries

Blue skies & an unexpected character's return in my #wip are such mood boosters!

I woke this morning & hurried to my desk to explore an idea plucked from the air. Why was I thinking of... Aha! #OwenArcher is glad to see this old friend but guesses with dread the matter that brings him to #York with this particular knight in Lancaster's affinity. Inspired by a small item in Mark Ormod's Edward III. Thank you, old friend. #WritingLife #HistoryMystery #bookstodon #medievodons @bookstodon

A new post on my blog, with news about the Owen Archer series & some musings about developing characters. #writingcommunity #writing #medieval #OwenArcher #blog #historymystery http://candacerobbbooks.com/2022/12/17/into-the-future-with-owen-lucie/

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 #characters? #writing #writingcommunity #historicalnovel #crimefiction #amwriting #York #OwenArcher
