[link] D. B. Jackson on historical setting

[deborahjross]

I finally sat down and read the first of D. B. Jackson's "Thieftaker" novels - a warlock in pre-Revolutionary Boston. (I enjoyed it immensely - review will follow.) Here he discusses the historical background and challenges of weaving together a fantastical story with real events. Even if you haven't read the book/s, the article is worth taking a look at, if only for the richness of detail and context that any historical fantasy -- or fiction of any kind -- merits.
