My first non-fiction title!
This week I published my first non-fiction title:
Name Your Medieval Character: Medieval Christian Names (12th-13th Centuries)
.
Here's a description:
Medieval author Joyce DiPastena is always on the lookout for authentic medieval names for her characters. Internet searches are helpful, but occasionally they can lead a writer astray. Accurate lists can be found on the internet, but it can take a deal of searching and double-checking of sources. In Name Your Medieval Character: Medieval Christian Names (12th-13th Centuries) , DiPastena has done much of this work for you. Name Your Medieval Character is a compilation of her 30-plus years of research into medieval Christian names. Every name and name variation in this book was borne by a living, breathing medieval man or woman.
Name Your Medieval Character includes over 800 female names (including variations) and over 1500 male names (including variations). This book will prove a treasure trove for historical fiction writers, fantasy writers, gamers, or anyone who just enjoys names!

I hope some of you will find Name Your Medieval Character helpful and enjoyable. It is available in e-book format on and Smashwords for just .99 cents! Print version coming soon.

Hi Joyce: I hope you do well with your nonfiction book. What a neat idea for a book and you're certainly qualified. I need to do something with my nonfiction book as it is essentially finished. It is about The Lord's Supper and its observance, meaning, etc, with lots of scriptures. I use the King James Version.

Hi Larry!Your non- fiction book sounds very interesting! Yes, you should see if you can get that published. I'm glad you use the King James Version. That's the version I read, too, and it always jars me a little when I read a book that uses quotes from a different version. I know other versions can be good, too, but to me, the language of the JKV is especially beautiful and reverent.
