Elizabeth Chadwick is working on something interesting

From time to time, Elizabeth Chadwick, the author of some very fine books set mostly in medieval England, appears to be starting a new book. It's about the daughter of Willilam Marshal. Heck, I didn't know he even had a daughter(didn't know that much about him at all, really). Anyway her blog Living the History is giving us a hint. She has written the first three chapters! And I'm looking forward!

I saw that the other day and definitely think it sounds like an interesting premise!

Marg:

She has been writing basically biographical fiction for some time. They have mostly been about important male medieval figures. What was interesting to me was, she has gone back closer to her "roots", which were kind of in the "historical romance" category, with female protagonists. She's pretty darn good at what she does, though.

Indeed she is!

I have a lot of respect for her as a writer, though I probably will never(although I should never say never), write anything near the kind of thing she does!
