I’m back with E.C. Ambrose, talking about her new book, Elisha Magus and the research that not only informs the series, but got it started in the first place. Also…
The whole thing began with research.
For me a book usually begins with a person in a place with a problem.
Societas Magica
What kind of problems would this kind of person face?
The Society for Creative Anachronism
My own historical fantasy book.
I am a huge fan of the Mongols
The Odyssey Writing Workshop
Jack Rutherford’s Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World
The Secret History of the Mongols (pdf)
MONGOL
The Sons and the Spears trope from the lives of Genghis Khan and Khan Kubrat (not Khan Asparukh, who was Kubrat’s son)
Tengri оr Tangra
Kumis, kefir, and ayran
The sausage is actually delicious
Barbarian Empires of the Steppes
Also, because I cannot get enough of Mongols
The International Congress of Medieval Studies
