Definitely lived up to the hype. Dringende Leseempfehlung, vor allem für weiße Menschen - das Buch bietet einigen Stoff zum Nachdenken und reflektieren. Es ist extrem ausführlich recherchiert und fast schon akademisch, aber dabei trotzdem nie dröge. Es schneidet so viele wichtige Themen an, von denen mich einige sicher noch länger begleiten werden. Es ist zwar ein ordentlicher Wälzer, aber es lohnt sich wirklich. #buchtipp #lesetipp #frauenlesen #darkacademia #histfic #bookstodon

2/2 An ice age very possibly might have dropped global sea levels as more water got locked up in polar glaciers only to melt a few decades later and inundate coastal areas like Cantre'r Gwaelod.

The weird thing about finding mistakes in the work of celebrated #historical biographers isn't that there are mistakes. Everybody makes mistakes. Even the best. It's that they're so famously right about everything that you end up triple and quadruple checking yourself to make sure YOU'RE not wrong before you dare say a word.

#WordWeavers 9/18: Do your characters worry about health?

I think all my characters worry about their well-being and that of their loved ones, but few are ever so concerned health.

Notable exception! In Taliesin's story, Tali has a vision and claims he can see the onset of yellow plague in King Maelgwn, saying the king will die in two years' time. This distresses Maelgwn, but he takes out his angst by testing Taliesin's gift of prophecy instead of explicitly worrying for himself.

I always loved this cover for Gene Luen Yang's duology, Boxers and Saints.

For anyone interested, this is a wonderful historical fiction graphic novel that tells of the Boxer rebellion against colonial powers in 1900 China. The art is beautiful if a little simplistic, but the story told between the two books is phenomenal. Highly recommend!

May's My #WorldReads #Readalong book is set in #WW2 Poland & based on real events, written by Spanish author Mario Escobar. I think this is going to be a pretty dark story.

The Teacher Of Warsaw has 45 chapters so that's roughly 11 chapters per week. I'm going to listen to the #audiobook narrated by Zach Hoffman, which I bought @ Libro.fm https://tidd.ly/3LEyqGF (aff link)

It's two months until #TheHouseofWhispers is published, and I've written my next piece on How To Write A Historical Novel. This one is on how and when to research.

#writingwonders Day 6: MC tidy or messy

Taliesin doesn't have that many possessions to get messy with. He really only owns his harp, his bard's coat, and one set of day-to-day clothes. His living space is a bare stone chamber in Urien's castle. He lives most of his life in his head, so he doesn't need a lot of material things. And considering his attention to detail, his headspace would be meticulously organized.

Today I am mostly doing holiday photo shoots for the books that were shortlisted for this year's #WalterScottPrize for Historical Fiction. There's so little good light on December days, I need to do this quickly. This is the book that won, James Robertson's NEWS OF THE DEAD, but they will all get this treatment. I'm the social media manager for the prize.

In your opinion, where does historical fiction start and contemporary fiction begin? And why?

Asking this question is always a bit risky but the answers are always so fascinating to me.
