Jeanette asked Cindy Tomamichel:

Where is your upcoming novel, Druid's Portal, set. And what fascinated you about that time and setting?

Cindy Tomamichel Druid's Portal is set in Roman Britain, around 200 years after the invasion, so about 2,000 years ago. Most of the action takes place around Hadrian's Wall and Newcastle and the surrounding area.

It was a time where two ancient cultures were trying to get along with each other, a time of war and peace. It seemed to me to be a border, where the ancient and modern meet. Celtic villages vs Roman towns. Two vastly different ways of living and thinking clashed, and then tried to find ways to get along.

So that aspect interested me, plus the countryside and the amount of info available thru excavations all adds to a detailed picture of the time.
