Thanks, Alex!
Thanks, Elizabeth, for the links! As always, they're terrific. I noticed the one about writing historical fiction, and it got me thinking. We all need to get the research right when we're writing, but I think historical fiction authors need to be especially aware of it. I'm finding that out as I start the pre-planning for my next book, because there's an element of history in it, and I want to get it right.
Enjoy your research! Sounds like a great book. :)
