#HistFicMay : Introduce your writing.

I have a flat style built on decades of legal writing.

Far more 'tell' than 'show.' Some like it. Others...don't.

Sometimes 3rd POV, sometimes 1st.

My MCs tend to be women, though I'm a cishet white male.

'Vivid. Heartrending. Superb. You admire their tenacity, their wit and their intelligence. These women are real people whose story has been faithfully told.'

#HistFicMay - day 2 - I have 2 series, The Tudor Court, set in 16th century England, and Ava & Claire, set in 1930s Pennsylvania. Currently 3 books each, but Tudor #4 is due out on June 15.

My books are really about relationships and how messy people are in any era.

#HistFicMay Day 2 - I write historical crime fiction from the perspective of ordinary people and their preoccupations, not just royalty and nobility at court 👩‍💻🍺🐴

The Last Republican,
By Fiona Forsyth

'A stunning depiction of the end of the republic and birth of the Roman empire.'

IMO a lack of understanding of the role and nature of early modern parliaments and their relationship with their monarchs can lead to unfair condemnation of the latter.
We impose our understanding and values on an institution with the same name but not the same function as today.

#HistFicMay Day 2!

I write #HistoricalFiction which is grounded on truth but sits on the edge of reality. I am especially drawn to beliefs and superstitions of an age, and my stories reflect that.

My characters tell me their stories, I just write them down!
