The second is A Medal for Murder. <br /><br />Re the covers, I should send the illustrator, Helen Chapman, a box of chocolates a week for life. Her artwork reminds me of the old railway posters. <br /> Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549253083858080571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-10908090207164834152017-09-27T13:20:55.003-04:002017-09-27T13:20:55.003-04:00I admire writers who do the research to present hi...I admire writers who do the research to present historic settings and then go on to populate the settings with such fascinating characters!

History was part of my degree but what I do now is very different. Much comes from a feeling of what life was like for my characters, and from a sense of place. I blogged a while back about some of the settings in the Kate Shackleton books. Location is often a starting point. <br />http://frances-brody.com/blog/yorkshire-kate-shackleton-territory/ Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549253083858080571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-993649290245605005.post-17796870809470905302017-09-27T09:50:45.216-04:002017-09-27T09:50:45.216-04:00I often wonder how historical writers bring authen...I often wonder how historical writers bring authenticity to their work.
