Hey Clan!
In this episode of Writers Chat, award-winning novelist, Johnnie Alexander, and I, joined with Yahweh Sisterhood Book Club’s Josephine Massaro, to discuss Historical Fiction.
We explored the process of conducting research and how to apply it to your novel. But the best part about this show, hands down, was hearing how practical other writers found the advice.
Truly! We share tips to apply to your own research no matter what genre you write.

Many in the live chat expressed interest in a version of the Scriptures that existed prior to the King James 1611 Bible. Jerome’s Latin Vulgate with translation is one source I’ve used in my historical novels.
