Three Things About..

It is supposed to "me" but I thought it would be fun to answer this sharing email with a sort of generic historical novelists' answers.

Three Things About Me

A.   Three names I go by: Mom (or Dad), best-selling author  someday, I hope, the history know-it-all

B. Three places I’ve lived: 12th century Holy Land, 19th century London, 8th century fantasy country - in my mind.

C. Three places I’ve worked: McDonald's, a temp agency, summer camp

D. Three things I love to watch: my royalties add up, movies about my novels' eras, the awed expressions on people's faces when they find out I'm an author, no honestly!

E. Three places I have been: the library, the library and the library.

F. Three people that email me regularly: my editor, my agent, and the friend who holds my hand when I am in a slump.

G. Three things I love to eat: medieval feasts, tea and crumpets in 19th century London, cookies at book clubs.

H. Three things I am looking forward to:  the contract for my next novel, winning the award for best historical novel, the invention of the time machine.

I. Three things I love to do: sleeping, if I ever get to; coming out of writer's block, daydreaming.

J. Three people I most want to reply to this email: Sharon kay Penman, Bernard Cornwell, and Philippa Gregory.

So here's what you're supposed to do if you get one of these in your email... Copy and paste, deleting my answers and then send this to a few good friends or family INCLUDING the person who sent it to you. The theory is that you will learn something about each other.

Now, what if we do these for our characters?
