@seekjustice Wow, I cannot keep up with this conversation!  Let’s see if I can give a quick answer to your questions and catch up. 🙂

My favorite time period is American history from 1890-1970.  There are a few other periods I like too, but those are the years I like best.

Some favorite historical figures: Jonathan, son of Saul; Stonewall Jackson; Roy Rogers and Dale Evans; and Amy Carmichael.  And lots and lots more, but actually, since I mainly read his-fic rather than biographies, I usually know only a smattering about each historical figure, and more about the culture and time period.

Favorite authors: I like reading books that were actually written in the time period they are about, because I feel I can get a better and truer picture of what life was like that way.  So for that I like Zane Grey, Carolyn Wells, William MacLeod Raine, Grace Livingston Hill, and Annie Fellows Johnston, to name a few.  One of my absolute favorite contemporary his-fic series is Cheney Duvall, M.D. by Gilbert Morris…but warning for any romance haters: That’s definitely and positively a romance series. 😛  I also like Robert Elmer and Lois Walfrid Johnson, both of whom are very well researched.

My current WIP is a his-fic set in the New Testament, around the time of the early Acts, though not really in the midst of the well-known action of the apostles.  I’ve tried writing a biblical his-fic before and failed, so I hope this one turns out well. 😉

And SeekJustice, I have never understood why you like Manfred von Richthofen so much.  He’s a “bad guy”!  Come on! 😉 😛

Looks like we’re tagging everyone in our intro posts?  Well in that case, hello to those I don’t know! @samantha-pen @selah-chelyah @scarletimmortalized @ashira @valtmy @eden-anderson
