Right now I'm caught in the throes of creating another historic fiction. Set in 1250 in the Basque Pyrenees of northeastern Spain, it's the story of a young Basque girl, caught in the personal and cultural friction between traditional folkways and Christianity. Her devastating personal tragedy propels her to undertake a quest along the Camino de Santiago. So far I'd characterize it as a cross between an action/adventure novel and a Canterbury Tales
My previous historic was a three generational historic fiction about the lives of three women who lived southwestern US, four corners area, prior to European incursion. It was published in March 2019.

The atmospheric way you describe various landscapes speaks of your familiarity with them. What portions of research fascinated you most? (Medieval medicinal plants maybe? The church's view on herbalists?)
