Jaedia ⚔️ Hannah<p>Managed to do a little more work on building up my book today! Figured I'd work a little on my characters, so I wrote out what I have for my main guy and fleshed a couple things out. Need to get religion and local place names settled at some point. </p><p><a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/writingcommunity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writingcommunity</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/writephant" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writephant</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/writers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writers</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/amwriting" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>amwriting</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/writing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writing</span></a> <a href="https://wandering.shop/tags/writersofmastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writersofmastodon</span></a></p>

Even in my books set in fantasy lands, I’ve used real history to inform them.</p><p>My next WIP will use both real events and real people (minor figures only), as it will be set at Hampton Court Palace. I’m deep in the research part of it now.</p>

I’m dreadful with the titles, but there was a recent one about a couple whose hobby was robbing regional museums across Europe. A heist novel, but real (less fun, they tried to hide their crimes by destroying the stolen artworks at the end 😞)</p>
