"Studies in the German leanguage has spilled over into the history of Nothern Europe and a significant part of this was the struggle by the Germanic tribes for independence from Rome."
Goodreads asked: - "How do you get inspired to write?" Answer: - Writing has become a habit: (1) Decide on what to write about. (2) Prepare cards and/or computer files which have the names, dates of birth of the characters, their relationships to others in the book and marital status. These are used as quick reference in times of stress when the memory may become tired."
Goodreads asked: - "What are you currently working on?" Answer: -
"New historical fiction books about events in both Scotland and England. This will take in the coming of Norwegian Vikings to Scotland and the Danish Vikings England. It should start with the coming of the Engels (some people call this Germanic tribe, "Angels") and the Saxons, the fights between the Saxons and the Danish Vikings and then coming of the Normans. I plan on following that with the various kings of England to to King Edward 1 (also known as Edward Longshanks). So far, I think that this could well run into at least 3 to 10 new books. We will see."
