I find it pretty easy to separate out the fact/fiction, especially when there's an author's note at the end to confirm my suspicions. But I do love remembering a historical fact, then realising that it was a fictional adventure that helped me remember it. <br /><br />Your book looks great! :DtextilehistorIEhttp://irishhistoricaltextiles.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-17026050112978329152012-03-21T11:55:49.260-04:002012-03-21T11:55:49.260-04:00I find it fun to read historical romances esp scot...I find it fun to read historical romances esp scottish romances. I learn what things were like hundreds of years ago plus get to picture the landscape, the hunky man in the kilt with the sexy accent & dream I'm the heroine. Historical romances let me do what I love read a love story yet learn alittle about the past. <br /><br />Motorlips19@aol.comAshley Busheynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-58549016225098924772012-03-21T11:32:43.819-04:002012-03-21T11:32:43.819-04:00What a fascinating guest post! Historical fiction ...What a fascinating guest post! Historical fiction is my favorite genre for the same reason you love to write it. The story doesn't have to end with the last page because I can go research the events and characters afterwards. As far as balance between characters, plot and history lesson, I'd say Elizabeth Chadwick is exceptional in providing the right mixture of all the elements. The history isn't too dry because the plot is mesmerizing and characters are completely three dimensional.Svea Lovehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08155352839052427783noreply@blogger.com
