It is a wonderful read! :)<br /><br />Taliasba,<br />Oh my - I imagine many of us have relatives connected to the Titanic just like you. It does make you think! So glad Cathy offered the giveaway. Got you on the list. :)<br /><br />Lydia,<br />I know, I like research but always want to get going on the writing part too!<br /><br />Louis,<br />You are welcome. Cathy is very generous in offering a copy of the book! Thanks for coming by.<br /><br />Kenda,<br />I know, I loved her insights too! Cathy liberally shares her whole experience - it helps me a lot as a writer and I am grateful for that!<br /><br />Warren,<br />I think you both might too! About WW 1 - I think you are correct, or at least I've not come across many. Yes, I am thinking that would be a good storyline!

Sounds like Cheryl and I would both enjoy this one. bald (at) pld (dot) com.<br /><br />A time in history for a good story?<br />Doesn't seem like much in done during WW1. Also, I think this would be a great subject for a novel: a sympathetic treatment of a German couple during WW2 trying to maintain a marriage and family. The husband is a soldier fighting on the eastern front, though he is not a Nazi sympathizer. He wants the war to end but has no say in the matter. Meanwhile, his family back home faces an invading army.<br /><br />This was TRUE scenario for millions of German soldiers in WW2, and has received very little attention (that I know of) in historical fiction. Not all of the Germans were bad, but they are all classed that way.<br /><br />I am actually writing something about this now, but it will be an essay for a historical journal. A novel on this would be great, I think.<br /><br />You up for that, Karen? I can send you the essay when it is done to give you some ideas.<br /><br />WBWarren Baldwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17956713921509659993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-855485928545677951.post-72534937175993967912012-01-30T22:33:32.249-05:002012-01-30T22:33:32.249-05:00How wonderful to connect--I love meeting enthusias...How wonderful to connect--I love meeting enthusiastic historical fiction readers!

The whole family was lost; the eldest daughter had gotten into one of the life rafts but got out when there was no room for other family members. I can't help but wonder what they went through. <br /> I'm disabled with RSD and books are a great part of my life. It's great to get "away" from my life and into someone elses in a good book. I'd definitely love to read this book!<br /> Thanks for this opportunity.
