I have letters written by my great-grandfather to my great-grandfather before they were married and he was in the Civil War. I also have a letter her father wrote to her when she went off to school in New Orleans in 1859. Things like that whet the appetite to tell their stories. Looking forward to reading your book.Martha W.

It was one of the best days of my life - history come alive.

I love Historical Christian Fiction. They are so awesome to read especially on a cold evening by the fireplace. <br />Thank You for sharing your post.<br />I enjoyed it immensely.<br />God Bless,<br />NiecyGreetings from Niecyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00659413583583685869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584986441435970939.post-13085041546220972392011-02-28T19:45:53.550-08:002011-02-28T19:45:53.550-08:00Now we know one secret of your magnificent novels ...Now we know one secret of your magnificent novels is diligent research!Judith Rolfshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04671004286474327681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584986441435970939.post-78344144416996425422011-02-28T19:19:15.155-08:002011-02-28T19:19:15.155-08:00Very interesting article!!

Personal experience was very important, but I had to do the research to fit in the 1920's era. It was a learning experience!

Me too, and my hubby. <br />I wish I could go to England every once and awhile to research but that is not financially feasible. However, I was there many years ago, so I'm not totally without some experience of the country first hand. However, the Regency era in which I write was much different from todays England.<br /><br />Loved Ashes in the Wind and I loved Gettysburg too. I grew up in Western Pennsylvania so I haven't been more than a couple of times.Jillian Kenthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12565274151603868808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8584986441435970939.post-29512014174731780742011-02-28T11:26:02.269-08:002011-02-28T11:26:02.269-08:00You don't have to enter me in the drawing, as ...You don't have to enter me in the drawing, as I already have a copy of Unwilling Warrior.
