Bobby asked Katlyn Charlesworth:

A lot of writer's, especially in the Historical fiction genre, stay pretty much in one time period but your tales are scattered from Rome to World War II. It seems like this approach would require so much more research. What's your driving force behind such historical versatility?

Katlyn Charlesworth Thank you for your excellent question, Bobby! Since I was very little, I have been fascinated by history in general. Whatever era, culture, event, or ancient concept I happened upon, I would learn everything there was available to me regarding that particular subject. I certainly credit this early exposure to such varied aspects of history as the fuel to my fire as an historical fiction author. As a writer, I consider my methods a bit unorthodox. When I happen upon a new historical subject that inspires my next work, I will first just generally research the event or individual. And then, as I write, I will begin to add in more specific details to cement the historical aura. When a subject really sticks with me, I will explore every avenue. But, usually, once I near the end of the writing process, I feel ready to move on. I do not think any other author has as short of an attention span as I do. :) It's a wonder I get any writing done at all.
