I am very into genealogy and heritage, and that's how I started writing.
I'm a history person, and I love the groundedness of that, of being able to go, "Yes! People acted like that."
I tend to be a very logical, practical person.
History is absolutely my thing.
I love getting into the basement of a courthouse, and all the dusty records - all that stuff makes me really happy.
I think the past is something I have spent a lot of time thinking about, not only what is different about the past but what's the same, and what links us to the past.
