I’m blogging today at History Hoydens about maps, glorious maps. Yes, they can help authors in more ways than driving down the road or finding a new place to eat dinner. For historical authors, the right map can be a godsend and new maps are becoming available all the time.

They can help find a hometown for a hero, a bolthole for a villain, or a dangerous setting for a book’s climax.

Please stop by if you’d like to chat about any maps or settings that have helped you enjoy – or write! – a book.

I’m blogging today at History Hoydens about all the fabulous blogs and websites popping up for the American Civil War’s sesquicentennial.

Would you believe you can find “What happened today” for stuff that happened 150 years ago? Amazing – and frequently far more fun than today’s news.

Please stop by and chat about historical books and sites that draw you into an enchanted world.
