When Thrones and Kingdoms are in Play: Writing an Epic Battle

This week I’m going to share a post I wrote for historical fiction author Elisabeth Storrs’ blog. I think some of you may enjoy this discussion of my recent publication and my process for writing an epic battle. Here’s how Elisabeth introduced my piece:

“Judith’s latest release is Flights of Treason, the final book in her historical fantasy series about the Hittite queen. I asked Judith to give an insight into the inspiration and history behind the book. Please enjoy her post which reveals her approach to writing a challenging battle scene based on archaeological facts laced with magic.”

If discovering how I went about writing an epic battle scene sounds enjoyable, you can read the post on Elisabeth Storr’s Triclinium blog, “When Thrones and Kingdoms are in Play.”

Elisabeth Storrs has written an excellent series of novels set in the world of the Etruscans and Romans. If you’re interested, you may like my reviews of The Wedding Shroud, The Golden Dice, and Call to Juno.
