Paul Letters
Researching historical accounts, engaging with people who were there and historians who live and breathe the minutiae of past times, draws me in – and, by default, my characters. For me, writing (and reading) historical fiction is a quest to get closer to dramatic events and to the individuals involved in them. In that sense, it’s a search for truth about a world that’s only disappeared if we ignore it.
