I write fantasy (and occasional sf) so can identify with your world building, though sometimes I cheat and use ancient historical backgrounds.<br /><br />Winterwood looks fascinating... love that cover!

I went to see a reenactment troupe recently (in Leeds UK) and even the reenactors are seriously bonkers. Well worth seeing if you ever get the chance. Take a look here: https://www.realmofhistory.com/2018/02/14/15-facts-polish-winged-hussars/ and here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polish_hussars. In fact, just google and yopu'll find a ton of images.<br />jaceybedfordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09938882756656396830noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2429560125838989988.post-5650814560872026842018-03-31T19:29:43.076+01:002018-03-31T19:29:43.076+01:00I'm bowled over by the sheer range of your ima...I'm bowled over by the sheer range of your imagination and use of history - forwards, backwards, sideways, slipping in and out of the fantastical....

I have visions of hordes of Hawkmen blazing through the sky led by Brian Blessed as King Vultan.<br /> And I LOVE the idea of your heroine being accompanied by the jealous ghost of her dead husband.
