Happy Valentine’s Day Books
Happy Valentine’s Day Books!
These books are in search of any author — is it you?
This year, I’m finishing two books, my latest hiking book about my Camino, and my historical fiction book. That came about because I love historical fiction, but there was no, or very little historical fiction about lands and eras I cared about, that I could easily see myself in. Even though fiction is the suspension of disbelief, sometimes I would have liked to be able to see myself in a book — really a stretch of imagination to see myself in a Regency romance, or one of my favourites like Outlander, and The Last Kingdom. I could more easily see myself in a Jack reacher book, than in Ivanhoe.
So I did what every self-respecting author shoud do, I set out to write one myself — and. it was hard. Writing fiction is really really hard. No, Writing good fiction is difficult, and I am still working on my third draft. And dreading the editor’s comments. But more on that later. For a bit of fun, I have compiled a list of books that you can write for Valentine’s Day 2024 — there are too many for me to write!
