Your writing has been very inspiring to me and I am always impressed at the level of historical detail. I'll also admit to being envious of your linguistic wizardry - the way you seem to know exactly the right flow of archaisms and anachronisms without the language jarring the reader out of their immersion. I am currently laying the foundations for my own historical novel and I was wondering what your research process typically consists of.
Also, will we see more female warrior characters like Brida and Skade in future installments of the Saxon Tales?

Thank you! Research is really a lifetime's work....a lifetime of reading histories. I research a period in some detail, but much of the best material comes by accident, from reading things that are way off the subject.
Oh, I hope so!!
