So, what is Historical Fiction? It is exactly what it says. It is History and Fiction together. It is very important that the history part be correct. Yes, you can have fictional characters in a story with factual ones, but you have to stick with the History. There are a lot of writers that consider Historical Fiction one of the hardest areas because of all the research involved.
I would really enjoy hearing from some of you who have written Historical Fiction. Tell me about your journey.
What Historical Period am I thinking of witing about? At this point, I am leaning toward The Great Depression. Hmmmm...that is, if I do not change my mind this weekend.
