Aka, spot the talkative author who was delighted to connect with actual humans after an intense week of deadline-chasing! 😆Really enjoyed this. Thank you @TheHistoryQuill
Just had fun recording latest ep of @TheHistoryQuill #podcast with stellar guest @HazelGaynor - Hazel has had tons of success in the 10 yrs since her debut. She tells me & @The_Julia_Kelly why it's all about the books - & initiates us into the dark mysteries of co-authoring.
@TheHistoryQuill are holding a virtual convention in February & I'll be on a panel, "Bringing ancient characters to life". Day 1 covers "the craft of historical fiction" & that's the day I'm on. Book tickets at my affiliate link here 😀 thehistoryquill.com/convention-202… #WritingCommunity

We love this advice from @carolmcgrath! Finding the spaces in the historical timeline where you don't know where or what your character is doing gives you the opportunity to invent! #historicalfictionresearch #historicalfictionwriter
