The Scandalous Life of Nancy Randolph, with Kate Braithwaite
You don’t have to look very hard to see that a lot of book reviewers are also authors. For example, I am reviewing books for the Historical Novel Society on occasion. One of the people I send those reviews to is also a writer. Kate Braithwaite writes both historical fiction and contemporary thrillers. Here’s my conversation with her.
Hi Kate. Nice to learn more about you. What should we know?

Clandestine Lives: The Jester, the Courtesan and the Assassin
by Tony Leslie Duxbury (Goodreads Author) |
|
| This book contains a myriad of fascinating characters. Its charm lies in how they are separate, wind together, and convene in the final act. Intriguing, complex plotting. | |

“Pain is inevitable. Suffering is optional. Say you’re running and you think, ‘Man, this hurts, I can’t take it anymore. The ‘hurt’ part is an unavoidable reality, but whether or not you can stand anymore is up to the runner himself.”

HI Harold. That actually sounds really interesting. drop me an email to wayne@wayneturmel.com and I'll get you the questions and the details. Sorry for not responding, but you did the right thing.It's amazing how many people want me to feature them but won't put in any effort to reach out. Not that I expect people to jump through hoops, but still........
As a Canadian living in the US, one of my favorite things after a couple of beers to tell the story of the American Revolution from the other side, just to watch people's heads explode lol.
Looking forward to being in touch. Have a great day.
Wayne, I posted the following message on your group thread several weeks ago and pass it along here. I'd be pleased to be interviewed if you wish to do so. Thanks. -- I am the author of a historical novel about the beginning of the American Revolution and am currently writing a novel about the Algonquian natives at and near Roanoke Island first encountered by the English in 1584. Information about both is on my blog site: http://authorharoldtitus.blogspot.com.
