Howdie,
Found this site while searching google for Christian writer locations; I've been writing for a few years now and am hungry for some fellow ambassadors for Christ . . . hope I can meet some new faces here.

So yeah, just wanted to introduce myself. Anybody else write historical?

I love historical fiction! I'm working on a story right now that's set in the 1830s.

Welcome!

There are quite a few historical fiction writers around here, one of my current projects is set in Classical Rome. I'm sure you are quite welcome to join us in fellowship!

Hello, Friends!

I used to LOVE historical fiction and read everything in our little local library about Elizabeth I and Mary Queen of Scotts; as a kid I read every one of the "We Were There" series (We Were There At the Oklahoma Land Rush! for instance). You really had to know your subject, your era, clothing, culture -- all that stuff -- for your book to be considered historical fiction, and a clever reviewer could ruin you if s/he found a goof. Particularly with the romance genre, "historical" now simply means it took place at a different time with the same tired story-line (traditionally, boy meets girl > boy loves girl > boy loses girl > boy finds girl), same beautiful characters EXCEPT -- here, we're in Scotland and -- and -- and -- we wear animal hides! Now we're in South Africa only -- that is -- we don't have cars! Actually, I'm not complaining as a writer. It certainly makes it easier to write without spending long years doing the research.

I can't remember the author's name, but he wrote Island of the Blue Dolphins -- he wrote a number of historical novels for the junior high/middle school group. If you want a model for crafting a novel around genuine historical events, that author works. Good fortune & God's blessings! cb

I love reading historical fiction, but I can't for the life of me write it. Oh, well. Welcome!

 

[Mrtis_God'sdisciple]

Welcome there my brotha/sista! How are you? And good luck on the book. I am alittle more than half-way done with mine, and I know that yes sometimes we get discouraged, but hey you can't stop what you started so. Again, welcome!

Hi! I write historical fiction. I am working on a Civil war novel and a novel on William of Normandy.

 

[eccl12.13]

Hmm, when I said historical I meant nonfiction . . . that's what I've pub'd and that's what I prefer to write, though when it comes to reading I enjoy historical fiction.
