Samuel, you know that I two write fiction. My narrow niche is historic fiction and I suspect I will stay in that lane until I die. Like you I have come to understand that many of the stories I tell myself are not true. But they become more important than truth to me because what I tell myself forms not just me but the way I see the world. And the way I see the world forms the way I respond to it. That is not merely true of me personally. It is true of nations. So in some cosmic sense truth does not matter so much as the way I, and all of us, respond to the stories we tell ourselves
Looking forward to reading this book, and congratulations! My husband Jonathan and I accompanied you on a walking tour of the French Resistance last July, and I enjoyed your grasp of the events, the complexities of the heros involved and seeing the history through your stories. Cheers!
Congratulations on getting it out there. There's so much history out there to use for fiction that it's an endless supply of ideas, or little bits that spark the brain to create new ideas.
Congratulations on your book, and here's to many more! Hmm...I misremembered quite a few things too in the past...either they were edited or it's the Mandela effect. Hah!
