Hey Everybody…
Historical Fictioners, What an awesome word to describe us!!! I look forward to talking with you all. I personally love doing my research but it can be hard. Some time periods have a lot of preconceptions about them and others it’s hard to scrape up half of enough information. But then again haven’t I always loved a challenge😁
My favorite Time periods… Civil War is definitely tops, I also like almost any American History cause it’s (this sounds weird) but kinda directly my past. (just cause I live here, Hopefully, that makes sense.) I also love studying the middle ages, though it can be pretty sad at times with all the war blood shed and such.
Favorite Historical Figures: Abraham Lincoln and weirdly at the same time Lee. I also like Kennedy, I have recently become obsessed with trackers. (especially Kit Karson) and so many other awesome Historical figures. Some remarkable people lived before us and I think we have a thing or two to learn from them.
“The more you know about the past the more prepared you are for the future!!!” (Theodore Roosevelt)
Historical authors, I like Bill O Reily and Ben Thompson.
My Works in progress (two drafts in great need of editing.) One is about a young(16yearold) Southern belle who becomes a Southern Nurse / Union spy during the last year of the Civil War.The other is about a young tracker (part of a gunslinger gang🔫 but can’t shoot) gets kidnapped. He finds out that his kidnapper is his mom who his Dad has never even mentioned and he has no memories of.
Excited for the future of this discussion and getting to know all you a little bit better!!!!✒📝 It would be cool if we all shared historical quotes on here on some sort of a regular basis. What do you guys think??
