Patricia asked Robert Carter:

Dear Robert, Why do you write fiction? Why not historical fact?

Robert Carter Hi Patricia

Good question. I am interested in how events affect people, what actions they take and why. So I study history and my books are extensively researched, but I like to construct a storyline which is true to the time, but which allows me to show a very personal account of what it was like for the people who were living through it.

I am very interested in history and become knowledgeable about the periods I write about, but I am passionate about constructing a good story!

Rob
