How Much of a break or hiatus do you take between works?
That's not something I plan. I'm two volumes into the current #histfic trilogy, and editing those is taking longer than I expected, particularly because I've got to get feedback from beta readers. Breaks just happen.
Look past the contemporary #photos of Goldsmiths Square #Sibiu and discover the life of a #medieval village at the time of the Mongol invasion of 1241, through a #story.

The literary representation of frontier hardships offers insight into the realities of nineteenth-century rural life.

We wandered along the 1000 years old Targului Street in #Sibiu and snapped both eerie and cheerful #photos. I thought of how life must have been for the Saxons who built the first wooden houses here, during medieval times.

Learned today that I've been turned down for a bursary to fund a mentored writing course which could have been life-changing.
I suppose it's best seen as just another rejection slip.
More to come, I'm sure.
