I've just come off my first book tour and for the most part it was a blast! The
weather was my only real complaint. What a thrill to meet readers and hear
first-hand how my two books have impacted them.
As an historical novelist, the aspect of authoring that seemed to interest
people and provoke the most questions was the research. "How much research do
you do?" or "What percentage of your day goes to research and what to writing?"
or even "Do you enjoy researching?" were common questions I was asked.

YES, IT PROBABLY DOES TAKE A LONG WHILE TO RESEARCH FOR YOUR BOOKS. BUT IT ALSO GIVES US THE READERS AN ALMOST FIRST HAND LOOK AT WHAT YOU SEE TOO. IN FACT IT TRANSPORTS US RIGHT TO THE PLACE THE CHARACTERS ARE. WE TOO CAN SEE IN OUR MINDS EYE WHAT YOU (HE/SHE) SAW AS THEY LOOKED OUT THE WINDOW. ALSO I AM GLAD YOU DO THE REASERCH THAT WAY SOMEONE CAN'T COME ALONG LATER AND SAY THINGS ABOUT YOU AND/OR THE BOOK, NOT BEING CLOSE TO TRUE. I ALMOST IMMAGINE IT WOULD BE A BIT OF FUN ON YOUR PART TOO.
