Tudor Turcu posted an update in the group Historical Fiction Writers 2 weeks, 6 days ago
Hello, historical fiction community. I’m Tudor, I live in Germany, and I’ve always had a passion for history, especially American history (Revolutionary War, California Gold Rush, Civil War, Wild West, Indian Wars, you name it). The old KJV language has been a major influence on my writing style (reading the Bible in English has been a great way…[Read more]

A bit about myself: I emmensly enjoy Historical fiction, specifically that which occurs in ancient Rome. My favourite book is The Eagle of the Ninth by Rosemary Sutcliff, a historical novel taking place in Roman Briton. I have a deep…[Read more]

Yay, I’m so glad my suggestion helped! 🙂 And yes, I would definitely want to keep reading! (I’ve read a lot of books from that time period too, so I can totally relate with it becoming your style 😉 ) I saw that you mentioned The Hidden Hand in your introduction thread. It’s one of my favorites too! Your book so far reminds me a lot of…[Read more]

Oh, and I forgot to mention that I do read a lot of books written in the 1800s and early 1900s, and that’s kind of become my style. 🙂 I don’t know if it’s annoying to most modern day readers, but I was hoping since the book was set in that historical era, that people’d be okay with it.

@claire-h WOW, thanks so much! This was super helpful.
I think one of my problems was that the Frys where so entertaining that I didn’t want to make light of the guy being shot and missing, and I overcompensated on the melodrama, whoops. I toned them both down a little now. I do want the story to be somewhat realistic, although I do have a fairly…[Read more]

Thank you for sharing your work! I know it takes a lot of courage sometimes. 🙂 I really enjoyed this snippet! Great job with the characters …and the mysterious happenings. Mr. and Mrs. Bill Fry are so entertaining. XD So here are the few thoughts I had:
First off, this story reads like it was written in the 1800s. Have you read a lot…[Read more]

Hey y’all!
I’m brand new here but I’ve been writing for quite a few years now… never finished any WIPs, but this time I’m bound and determined to. However, I was wondering if any of you would be interested in reading my “introduction” and first chapter. I honestly am not sure if I like it or if it is intriguing enough for readers to want to…[Read more]

Thanks for sharing the beginning of your story, Gracie! You’ve certainly got a dramatic opening and a lot of vivid, in the moment description. Well done. The one thing I’d watch for is to be sure you stay in Chena’s POV throughout the scene. That doesn’t mean you have to keep it for the entire story, or even the entire chapter, but the current…[Read more]

Thank you.
I can just imagine Eitan, (the one reading it for historical accuracy), giving me a knowing look, /Haven’t heard //that// before, have you?/ Ahh well, need to work on that…
I emailed you…though my email was having trouble a few weeks ago. I’d like to check to make sure it went through? I’d love to read your next chapter!
