Hello Ms. Dickerson, I have read all of your books over the last four days, except Spy Princess (have it on hold at the library!). Can you tell me which of the Cottage of Seven correlates to Disneys Snow White dwarfs? Thank you!

Melanie Dickerson Hi, T. Barber! Let me see if I can remember. :-)
I tried to give them the same first letter of their names as the dwarfs in the Disney movie, partially to help me remember them. And please understand, this is just a very loose correlation.
Dominyk is Doc, Siggy is Sneezy, Bartel is Bashful, Heinric is Happy, Vincz is Sleepy, Dolf is Dopey, and Gotfrid is Grumpy.
The z at the end of Vincz's name, which is an authentic German Medieval name, helped me remember he was the one with the sleeping problem. :-)

Caroline asked Melanie Dickerson:

Hi Melanie, I love your books. I have all of them except for the two newest ones. I love writing fantasy and am trying my hand at writing historical fiction. Most of what I write is for young adults. I was wondering if you have any tips for writing historical fiction? And for writing in general? Thanks, Caroline

I also wanted to ask you if you had to any medevil research before you wrote the Hagenheim series, so you could know a bit more about the time period? I would just like to know because I am writing a book that is also set in the past!
