Esther Smith asked Glynnis Campbell:

After reading the newsletter this month (August), the idea of the rooms, caverns etc carved into the cliff etc, it reminds me of the series Poldark by Winston Graham - which of course is set in the late 1700s/early 1800s - I love romance like yours and Graham’s - who was your biggest inspiration to write in this era, vice a modern era or say a Tudor era?

Glynnis Campbell That's a very interesting question, Esther! I think I was drawn to the medieval era because my father told me about the Knights of the Round Table, and I grew up near Bidwell Park, where the original "Robin Hood" movie was filmed. I have a lifelong love of castles and swashbuckling. I have written some books in other eras--a Tudor series called Scottish Lasses and a Gold Rush era series, California Legends, set in my home town.
