I love the bronze age detail, Lindsay! Your historical research does show so nicely in your work. :-)

2009-06-10T19:17:27.511+01:00

Lindsay, enjoyed your post. I have always thought that historicals/historical romance would be one of the hardest things to write because of all the extra research involved to get things "right" with the time period.

Bronze Lighting looks wonderful! I am a big Greek Mythology and Bronze Age fan.

Wow! I'm in awe of all the research you've put into your writing and the amazing amount of historical knowledge you have. Authors who can bring ancient history to life in such a believable manner deserve a huge round of applause. And your title is so true. What a country is like now can be completely foreign to what it was centuries ago.

2009-06-09T22:46:22.232+01:00

Lindsay, thank you for a beautiful portrait of times past. What a challenge to set a story in the Bronze Age. Another country indeed!

You take wonders that are still visible today, and transport them back in time to the glory of their beginnings.

Simply Scenic? Or 'Specially Significant? I think the way you describe them makes them "Specially Significant.

I enjoy your books very much. Historical genre is my favorite. I see why I enjoy yours so much, because of all the time and effort that you put into your research. Thanks for the effort.

2009-06-07T02:42:26.238+01:00

I cannot imagine the breadth of research that would go into writing something this far back. I stand amazed by authors who choose to write in such early periods. You are such a diverse and intelligent author, Lindsay.

2009-06-06T20:55:23.042+01:00

Lindsay - it sounds like you do a beautiful job of blending your own personal family settings with the world that you create in your story! That would seem to make it both scenic and significant right?! It also sounds like you put a lot of work into the details considering transport, weapons, etc. to fit in the time period. Good job!

2009-06-06T11:58:42.834+01:00

Very nice post, Lindsay, very interesting. I'm glad you like descriptions as well as I do - I should have been a 19th century British author, I think, so I could get away with them.

Alas, I must work at being a 21st century writer, technology and all.

2009-06-06T02:19:25.570+01:00

A well researched historial romance is a good way to begin learning about a place and time I can no longer go. If I'm interested enough about the time or place I can then do more research and find books about the time or place. If the subject doesn't interest me, then I have learned something about it but haven't bored myself.

Lindsay, your grasp of history is amazing and that photo at the top of your column knocks me out (in a good way!).

2009-06-05T22:37:02.575+01:00

I like exotic settings. And a ancient time as well as an exotic place makes for doubly exotic.

2009-06-05T21:29:31.906+01:00

What a fascinating post, Lindsay. I know how much research is involved in writing about the past myself - inlcuding 'lack of underwear' LOL!

Your books sound wonderful, I really want to read Bronze Lightning now - and I love the picture of Stonehenge, so atmospheric.
