When a story won't let you go

Many thanks to Tracey Warr and The Historical Novel Society for the opportunity to discuss my approach to writing about different cultures and historical periods, both in The Richard Davey Chronicles and the book I have just finished, a fictional biography of a real 18th century adventurer called William Augustus Bowles. There are many challenges involved in this type of writing, so I hope you find the article interesting!
