I have always had an interest in English history and there is honestly so much so its hard to find different events and people that interest me more than others but this interview has given me a new one that i'll have to dig into more. I also really love this authors policy of writing about places you've been too because it really does improve on the writing when you can truly describe what it is like to be there and what the land is like.Travishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13015955527680971241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19307003.post-86352945382050624412018-10-01T18:01:17.270-05:002018-10-01T18:01:17.270-05:00I like your policy of only writing about places th...I like your policy of only writing about places that you have visited.

For example, since I take it that <i>Conquest</i> is an action adventure romp and the paucity of historical facts regarding Hereward make him a very malleable character, what were some of the considerations when trying to work out a balance between fantasy and authenticity/accuracy?Daniellehttp://romanticarmchairtraveller.typepad.comnoreply@blogger.com
