#HistFicMay Day 18. What subgenre would I love to write and why? Domestic and psychological suspense because I love to read those books. Can't do it until I've run out of ideas for #hisfic and #mystery! amymreade.com

The best thing to #research? Everything. I love the research! Questioning the county archaeologist was fun and he gave very generously of his time and expertise. Thank you Bill! #HistFicMay Twitter great source too. Thank you @AlisonFisk & @Durotrigesdig

The hardest thing to research was probably the politics. I'm not a political animal at all, and the Italian politics of the time was very different to anything I'm familiar with! #HistFicMay

#HistFicMay 11. The research gem in my WIP concerns my great-grandfather who died in 1941 when working on this mooring vessel that exploded on a mine in the Grand Harbour #Malta. I also named the protagonist of my WIP after him. #WritingCommunity #HistoricalFiction

D11 #HistFicMay: My research gem so far has been the “happy” sound of major chords played on a guitar. Crediting @KS_Jammin with this bit of info and also my introduction to gypsy jazz.🎶🎵

#histficmay D11 During the Battle of Stamford Bridge, a lone, unarmoured Viking supposedly blocked the bridge & held off the Anglo-Saxon forces killing about 40 of them. I definitely had to add this scene to The Last Saxon King.

#HistFicMay Day 11 - Research gem. The so-called "Great Emu War" took place in 1932 when the Australian Army attempted to eradicate emus that were destroying crops in the Western Australia Wheatbelt region where Pete grew up. (Spoiler alert: The emus won.)

I'm not sure about the hardest thing to research. Since I write speculative fiction, I love gaps in history because I fill them in with my own ideas. I do find animal death quite triggering, so the fire which killed Margaret Tudor's horses was tough to read about. #HistFicMay

#HistFicMay The hardest thing to research was Blackbeard's "unknown" timeline - so much of his life is documented in scattered pieces of facts.

#HistFicMay 10: Found contradictory or incomplete accounts of several things: a man's right jure uxoris to sit in the Lords; the process when succeding to a title; the Queen's drawing room in June 1820. Was there still a pillory at Charing Cross?

Day 10 of #HistFicMay asks what was the hardest thing to research. For me it's the campaigns where sources are in Spanish, French or Danish. Copenhagen 1807, Tarragona 1811 and Castro Urdiales 1813 were all a challenge though my translating has improved massively.
