The medieval age is a very strange and difficult period. But this is the age of discovery and to challenge religion.

i'm starting to appreciate historical romance from a very
short time, i never thought about reading this genre before
and now i'm trying to read all that i can about it :) well
to these readers i would have said. I can't write about a
boring heroine that does everything precisely as instructed
and never dares to change, maybe even a little what the
society of that time wants from a woman. where would the
plot come from, there will be no twists, no bad guy etc...
Thank you very much for posting this giveaway

An amazing idea for a story.
(Mary Preston 5:59am March 7, 2014)
I don't think women deny their history, because they find
strength in those who have gone before and made a
difference.
Stepping onto the path of those who bravely walked on new
trails gives me goosebumps. I like reading about the
history of how traditions started in many cultures and what
we hold onto today.
