Fell asleep watching TV last night, and Anastasia wanted to make sure I woke up for the good part of the show.....
I’m really digging this new biography of my favorite author, Mikhail Sholokhov. Тихий Дон (Quiet Flows the Don) is, in my opinion, the greatest novel of the 20th Century. I have a bit of a literary crush on Aksinia Astakhova. #russianliterature #russianlit #quietflowsthedon #тихийдон
I am positively chuffed to say that my novel has been Short Listed for the Goethe Prize in post 1750s Historical Fiction! A big thank you to my readers, my editor @bluegarret , my narrator @siobhan_dowd (Audiobook coming soon!), my wife Elizabeth, and, of course, my little princess Anastasia who is the center of her Daddy’s universe.
It’s funny cause it’s true
Anastasia knows she’s her Daddy’s best girl.
An author’s work is never done. This is a fraction of the books I’ll be reading over the next 5 months as I prep an outline for novel 3. Granted, Russian history is my thing, and I’ve read it all before, but research for a novel is a little different than general historical reading owing to the differences between fiction and non. In fact, writing historical fiction is quite similar to writing science fiction. In both instances, the writer has to create a world that does not exist. However, in the case of historical fiction, the world did once exist and so there are aids to help you craft it.
