Hi - I'm M.K. Tod, Mary actually, the author of newly released THE ADMIRAL'S WIFE, as well as PARIS IN RUINS, TIME AND REGRET, LIES TOLD IN SILENCE and UNRAVELLED. After a 20+ year career in business, in 2004, I moved to Hong Kong with my husband and no job. To keep busy I decided to research my grandfather’s part in the Great War. What began as an effort to understand my grandparents’ lives blossomed into a fulltime occupation as a writer. I have an active blog—www.awriterofhistory.com—on all aspects of historical fiction including interviews with authors, readers and others involved in this genre as well as insights from five historical fiction surveys. I live in Toronto and I’m happily married with two adult children.

What are you willing to fudge in historical fiction?

Authors Boyd and Beth Morrison have written a novel together – imagine all that sibling rivalry emerging in the process! Boyd Morrison is a best-selling author. Beth Morrison is Senior Curator of Manuscripts at the J. Paul Getty Museum and an expert medievalist. Together they’ve written The Lawless Land, the first in a Templar-Knight adventure series. I’m delighted to welcome them to the blog.

Quotes by M.K. Tod (?)

“If the newspapers reported the truth, if they wrote about the mud and filth and the body parts littering the ground and how young men look old before their time, would we still be here?”
― M.K. Tod, Time and Regret

“Enemy flares made night work difficult, but our position has stabilized. Germans so deeply dug in that our division was unable to take Regina Trench. Hundreds of casualties. Desolation everywhere. We are weapons now, not men. Men decide whether or not to kill. Weapons merely kill.”
― M.K. Tod, Time and Regret

“Divorce is a process, not an event. It takes months to unfold, a barrage of emotional ups and downs as denial is replaced by grief, grief by anger, and anger gradually eases into acceptance.”
