I’m looking forward to the Historical Novels Society of Australasia (HNSA) virtual conference in October, and hoping you’ll join best-selling author Isolde Martyn and me in a chat room on Sat 23rd October at 2.45 to swap info and answer questions about historical fiction set in medieval time – a long-lasting passion that began while I was researching and writing the Janna Chronicles. There ‘s an all-star line up of participants, with ‘bootcamp’ workshops and other sessions of interest for writers on the first weekend (16th-17th), and a program of panel discussions and interviews on the 2nd weekend, including various chat rooms on different genres. Guest of honour is the fabulous Geraldine Brooks author of Year of Wonders, People of the Book, The Secret Chord and Nine Parts of Desire – all of them great reads. You’ll find the program and booking details on https://hnsa.org.au/2021-hnsa-conference. Hope to CU there!
