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.

"Physical violence is one of the most straightforward and exciting types of conflict. You owe it to you readers to do this properly. Nothing will banish the tension and drama your prose has built more than a jarring anachronism or lazy Hollywood trope." 👇

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!

I'm VERY excited to present on this topic: How to research historical fiction—and when to stop. That latter part especially is one where I could *definitely* stand to take some of my own advice! 😆
We're going to be joined by the excellent @sydyoungstories and @jgnoelle of @hfchitchat for our virtual historical fiction writers convention. Can't wait for their session on how to research your novel! thehistoryquill.com/conventi…
