Re: Historical fiction
Hello all,
I LOVE historical fiction, and I hold my dad responsible for it. 
In my earlier education years, I found the subject so boring--facts, dates, names--more facts, dates, names. Consequently, my grades suffered. My dad stepped in.
He would sit down with me, we'd read the homework together and my dad would act it out. Yes, indeed, whether Paul Revere, or George Washington, or you name the personage and event. My dad would act them out. He put imagination into the study.
Though he's passed into eternity, I thank him dearly for passing a love of history to me. I can't get enough of it. Thanks, Dad!!!
Happy writing!!! Elysse

Re: Historical fiction
Hello all,
I'm going to try to make consistent entries.
An important aspect of historical fiction is authenticity. I believe, based upon my own readings, research, and feedback, that historical fiction authors must strive for truth and authentic information always keeping in mind what loyal readers of this genre expect. More on that in the next post.
All the best--happy writing!!!
