Here’s my review of Luanne Smith’s latest offering, The Wolf’s Eye, in her historical fantasy series set in WWI with witches turning soldiers into various kinds of monstrous weapons. It’s an engaging series that softens its horror with themes of friendship and found family. I hope you enjoy my review.
My review of a masterful retelling of the Selkie Wife folktale, set in nineteenth century Nova Scotia. This novel earned an Editors’ Choice award in HNR. Find out why in my review.
While surveying for natural gas extraction, an energy company discovered a Bronze Age shipwreck where no one expected it to be. It’s a fascinating, revelatory tale!
I’m sharing today, a post & a podcast. You might not realize, but I first intended to write historical mysteries with the ancient woman who is my series’ main character as a sleuth, and then something unexpected happened. That ancient woman is still at the center of my fiction and she takes on murderers, but not quite as I had envisioned it. If you’re intrigued, come on by for my guest post on MK Tod’s blog. Or if you’re in the listening or watching mood, catch my interview with Ray Evans about bringing ancient women to the fore in fiction. He even made 1 minute video clips to entice you.
This week I’m sharing a post I wrote for writer Elisabeth Storr’s blog about my writing process for Flights of Treason and how I wrangled a challenging battle scene based on archaeology laced with magic.
One of my longtime friends in the historical fiction world, Helen Hollick, has turned her hand to cozy mysteries set in 1970’s London. She’s sharing a spotlight about the latest release in this fun series, A Memory of Murder.
Experimental archaeology is so cool. Researchers put Mycenaean armor on volunteers from the Hellenic Forces to test its battle worthiness. And they even answered my warrior food question. Read on.
I’m welcoming historical fiction author Paul Bennett to my blog this week. His 7 book series opens in the French and Indian War and continues into the American Revolution. Enjoy his guest post.
