Finding Time For Historical Research

Finding time to research historical facts by reading non-fiction.

Last night my five year old granddaughter had a sleepover at my house. This morning, as a reward for her excellent behaviour for the last month I took her to Gambados, an indoor play area. We were there for two hours. In spite of the loud background music, parents talking and many children having a good time, I got on with my research.

I read for two hours and put post it notes with remarks on pages of particular interest, while keeping an eye on my granddaughter. An added bonus were the ideas for the plot and descriptions in my new clean Regency novel, Tuesday's Child.
