Sorry to be dropping in so late, but my week has been insane so far!<br /><br />I don't know that I can teach anyone anything about historicals - except what makes one effective. When it comes to writing them, I'm a rank amateur (unlike Anna and Ginger!)<br /><br />Hugs,<br />LisabetLisabet Saraihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05162514190572269660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-82830072418382296472011-03-01T18:00:56.096-06:002011-03-01T18:00:56.096-06:00the book looks good and then

You did such a wonderful job of explaining how authors can get off track. Oh, I've done it, too, but my first editor taught me to always check about objects or certain words to make sure those were available or used. <br />Excellent--CeliaAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16272417114895975742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-54584633060707998092011-02-28T10:18:18.458-06:002011-02-28T10:18:18.458-06:00Love the excerpt, the book sounds great.

I find things all the time written in Celtic themed books that have important information wrong, especially when it comes to things about Druids. Also in medievals I sometimes came across people eating potatoes even though they are a new world food. If I'm enjoying the book otherwise I try to overlook those things. But if they have things that are just totally wrong or a lot of them. I put the book down. I think most people who write historicals love history as you do, and I, and researching historical informational is fun to them, as it is to me. Many people, myself included, love to be swept away to a different place and time and it takes great authors like you to do it.cornelia amirihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10073486581012525859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-10613963173406782592011-02-28T09:08:13.589-06:002011-02-28T09:08:13.589-06:00Oops...that was supposed to be "AS usual"...Oops...that was supposed to be "AS usual".

I feel the same way about historicals, but transport me back to the old west or the Civil war days. In one of my reviews of my debut novel, a history buff took issue with my Indian hero making coffee on the prairie. Usually I would have agreed, but he'd lived with the white woman accompanying him for a few months and developed a taste for the "white man's brew" and his woman. :)<br /><br />Thank you for all the awesome words you share with us. We are so much the richer for it.<br /><br />And...you must know you are on the blog today of one of my favorite secret "sisters." *sending hugs to AnnaK*Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09683064637626718318noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2975156172068685702.post-38421893888009383012011-02-28T09:06:11.035-06:002011-02-28T09:06:11.035-06:00I am a great fan of Charles II, the English Civil ...I am a great fan of Charles II, the English Civil War and the Restoration.
