Hi! Right let's start!

[Paula]

Hi everyone, thank you so much for joining my Q&A event. Has anyone got a question or a comment for me? you can ask about my novel Sons of the Wolf, or my work in progress, the sequel to Sons, the Wolf Banner. I'm happy to answer questions about myself, my research, what i like to read. Anything! Go ahead!

what spurred you interest?

[Paula]

Hi Bobbie thanks for coming along! It was my love of books and my interest in history that inspired me. And i think i have an imaginative mind.

Paula, will you become a full time writer or keep your day job?

[Anna]

In other forums, I have noticed you're very committed to getting the historical facts right. When setting a book so far back in the "fogs of time" isn't it difficult to find rock-hard facts? Or does this give you more room when expanding your fictional story?

I doubt that I would ever be able to do this fulltime, I'd love to but writing doesn't pay the bills. At the moment i am content to nurse and write in my spare time

Hi Anna,
Lovely to see you here! The period that I write in can be quite sparce on the facts and what is available can often be very vague and open to conjecture. I do try to stick to the facts as they were known but if i have taken license I state where i have doen that in my author's note. The other area where i try to be accurate is with daily living etc, the little details that create the atmosphere and sends the reader to the heart of the story. That is a lot easier to do especially as I reenact the period i am writing in.
