"Shanna" by Kathleen Woodiwiss is still one of my favs. I've tackled historicals too and have had a few pubbed. However, I found them murder to write because of the dated dialogue. You don't want it to sound stilted, but it has to sound accurate. Striking a perfect balance is a definite challenge. <br /><br />Your book sounds wonderful. Here's to a zillion sales! :)Tina Donahuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07160021732404091277noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5742415355016995707.post-46507426394227281692012-06-17T08:15:51.460-04:002012-06-17T08:15:51.460-04:00Congratulations, Jean!

It sound...Jean, congratulations on your historical. It sounds very interesting and is a departure from your prior works. The closest I've come to writing a historical is a post WWII novel set in Sicily (I guess that's "historical"). I can imagine how hard it must be to research and get the details you need. I've got the bug to tackle a novel that takes place in Rhodes during the crusades. AnnR. Ann Siracusahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02201903849873369648noreply@blogger.com
