Hello my Freaky Darlings,

Last week I celebrated the release of Retribution and my improved sales figures, this week it’s all about my research process.

In the video I touched on some of the research I’m doing for the books in The Race series, if you’re interested here’s the YouTube channel I’ve been watching to learn about Sword Fighting: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCt14YOvYhd5FCGCwcjhrOdA

It’s been fascinating and it’s well worth watching if you’re interesting in swords etc.

I’ve also been reading up on Ethiopia and the current political climate there, so here’s one of the articles I read a few days ago: http://www.africanews.com/2018/03/08/ethiopia-govt-admits-violent-fightback-to-state-of-emergency-regime/

I use these videos, news articles, and books to add some colour as well as truth to my stories and while I try to stick as close to reality as possible, I will admit that I do not always and that any mistakes I make in my interpretation of the facts is entirely on me and not on my source materials.

Some of the books I used for my research for Requiem in E Sharp.

Well … That’s it for this week. Until next time …
