Writing Historical Fiction
Summary
"Those who cannot remember the past are doomed to repeat it." (George Santayana) Writing historical fiction involves more than taking a story and substituting carriages for cars. The historical novelist must do her best to understand the mind-set of the people she writes about, even while she explores the timeless and universal desires common to human beings of every time and place. This book describes historical fiction, tells the writer how to research, construct an authentic historic story world, and make the reader feel as though he or she is in the midst of the action. Short and to the point, Writing Historical Fiction is a practical tool for the historical writer's desktop.

Evoking Emotion
Summary
Readers pick up nonfiction books to learn something. They pick up novels to feel something: love, fear, joy, grief, elation, frustration, happiness, desperation, anger, despair, determination...or all of the above. We write novels to give readers a vicarious emotional experience. They want to weep when our characters weep and rejoice when they rejoice. Most of all, readers want to learn what our characters learn - a memorable lesson to enrich their lives. Angela Hunt explains how novelists can do all of those things, and she reveals specific techniques we can use to evoke emotion in the reader. These writing lessons, Hunt says, "are brief for a reason - I don’t want you to spend most of your time reading how-to books. I will give you what you need so you can put what you’ve learned into practice. That’s the best way to improve."
