Don't get us wrong - we're huge fans of speed-dating. We think it way better than online dating, as you can not beat a quick face-to-face encounter to establish if the chemistry is …

We toil in obscurity, trying to write the next great historical novel. Or maybe just the *next* historical novel. Few who have not tried it understand the woes of the historical writer: you do not know your world as well as a writer of contemporary stories, and yet you are not as free to invent it as a fantasy or sci-fi writer would be.
