Hey there Readers and Friends,
Just thought I’d let you know, if you’re in the area on Thursday, August 18th, I’ll be at the Adams County Arts Council, 125 S. Washington St., from noon to about one o’clock. I will give a talk on “Writing Historical Fiction.” The discussion will cover the process of how to manage historical research; maintain historical accuracy; how to weave fictional characters among real historical personalities; write dialogue among those real historical personalities; and, how to treat accents and regional dialects. Finally, we'll discuss the obligation and responsibility of historical fiction writers to history, itself.
