It’s chaotic. No, I do not sit down at 9 am and work through to 5.30pm. But somehow it does get done.
Right I’m going to try to take this seriously (Puts on stern face)
My first main characters had been running around in my head for years before I tapped the keyboard so they were fully formed when I started to write the Roma Nova stories.
Over the years, I’ve added many others so I check how they’re interacting with the old stagers. Cue spreadsheet with ages and major events. Nobody wants to marry their son or have the legendary 11-month pregnancy. By the time of the fourth of my main character Carina’s strand, her children are now assuming main roles.
Although I’m in no way a plotter with complex outlines for each chapter, I usually have an idea of what I want a character to achieve. Back in 2012, I evolved a vague system to put some structure into each story and wrote a post called How to write a novel in 30 lines. It runs from inciting incident, three crisis points, the black moment to climax and resolution. I still use it. But that’s the extent of my planning ahead.
The detail evolves as I tap on the keyboard. I also want to know what is going to happen. The characters’ quirks and interactions push the story along. Sometimes, they try to stage a coup and take over the show.
Excuse me! Who is writing this book?
After an hour of negotiation we agree on a compromise and I nudge them back into the story, promising death, agony or separation from their beloved if they don’t behave. (I do that anyway, but don’t tell them ahead of time.)
After an hour of this bickering, I go for a tea break and decide I’ll do something calming like marketing.
Track and trace (Not meaning to badmouth postal systems, but mine works.)
I’ve developed a tracking grid (which you can download for free) which keeps the timeline straight and where I can jot down the main actions in each chapter – a kind of DIY ‘do it as you go along’ index to the book. After the first rough draft was finished, I used to put the manuscript in a folder on my computer and try ignore it for at least six weeks and work on something else. But these days, I load it onto my Kindle and have a quick read through to see if it has the ‘legs’ as a story – no editing allowed at this stage. Then I ignore it.
 When I open it again, I carry out the first edit with my red pen. And I’m really tough on myself. No, I’m brutal. Every sentence is fixed with my version of Mad-Eye Moody’s orb.
Then off the draft goes to my critique writing partner who is eagle-eyed, caring and scrupulously honest, so is a sounding board as well as critic. She will look for (and find) plot holes, character failings, extraneous or awkward scenes and inconsistent dialogue. More than anything, she will check for cohesiveness and whether the story grips. Without page-turning quality, the book won’t deliver a good read and that’s the writer’s duty.
Then revisions and on to a final professional copy edit and any further revisions. After all this, it gets turned into an ebook and paperback using the wonderful Vellum software then it’s uploaded to electronic retailers like Amazon, Kobo, Apple and B&N Nook and to Ingram Spark and KDP (Amazon) for printing.
Interspersed with this are hours of mind-expanding and often fascinating research, tracking down odd books on odd Roman stuff, spending hours on the Glock and Google Earth sites or working out how to stage a coup. I keep great lists, digitally mostly, or I’d never find stuff I need for the next chapter. But somehow, fifteen books later, it all seems to work.
Are you a writer? I bet you’re more organised…

 I’m delighted to welcome Anna Belfrage to the blog to talk about language, writing and words. Had Anna been allowed to choose, she’d have become a time-traveller. As this was impossible, she became a financial professional with three absorbing interests: history, romance and writing.
Anna has authored the acclaimed time travelling series The Graham Saga, set in 17th century Scotland and Maryland, as well as the equally acclaimed medieval series The King’s Greatest Enemy which is set in 14th century England, and The Castilian Saga, which is set against the medieval conquest of Wales. She has also published a time travel romance, The Whirlpools of Time, and its sequel Times of Turmoil, and is now considering just how to wriggle out of setting the next book in that series in Peter the Great’s Russia, as her characters are demanding…
All of Anna’s books have been awarded the IndieBRAG Medallion, she has several Historical Novel Society Editor’s Choices, and one of her books won the HNS Indie Award in 2015. She is also the proud recipient of various Reader’s Favorite medals as well as having won various Gold, Silver and Bronze Coffee Pot Book Club awards.
Over to Anna!
There are certain benefits when writing about people who lived over seven centuries ago, the primary one being that no one really knows who they were. Yes, we have chronicles, but they were written for recording purposes, not to give us a window into the souls of these long departed people.
The drawback, of course, is the same: we don’t know all that much about them, beyond the events they may have taken part in.
When I was doing my research for Queen of Shadows, I came across mentions of Leonor de Guzmán, this fermosa (beautiful) and bien entendida (very smart) woman here and there. And as I really wanted to find out just where Alfonso XI celebrated Christmas one particular year, I was delighted to find the Chronicle of Alfonso XI online. Marvellous thing, this digital age.
The Chronicle of Alfonso XI is an extensive and detailed description of the events marking this king’s reign. There is an interesting little paragraph that describes how the king, frustrated by the lack of sons by his wife (after like two years of marriage) lets his eye wander. And there, lo and behold, he finds the gorgeous and intelligent Leonor de Guzmán—whom he already knew since some years back. The chronicle lauds her great fermosura (beauty) while telling us the king had lost his heart to her some years back. She is also wealthy, widowed, politically astute, and willing to help him with whatever matters she can. This is when it is important to remember the chronicle had been commissioned by Alfonso and Leonor’s son, Enrique—albeit basing it on all the rolls, laws and privileges approved by the king during his reign.
What really caught my eye, though, was the language. Every single fijo instead of hijo (son in present Spanish), every fablaba instead of hablaba (spoke) every onrrado instead of honrado (honoured), ciubdat instead of ciudad (city), ricos-omes instead of ricos-hombres (rich men, i.e. nobles) and, my favourite, fijos-dalgo instead of hidalgo (high-born, effectively son-of-someone-important) sent happy shivers down my back. It also made me long for my mother—she would have loved sitting beside me as I read my way through this 14th century text.
Not that my mother was all that interested in Alfonso XI but she was utterly enamoured of language in general and Spanish in particular. She would have loved seeing fermosura instead of hermosura, fazer instead of hacer, likely launching herself into a long monologue about how the initial f became an aspirated h as Castilian developed into modern day Spanish. She would then have expanded into the influence of Latin, on how evident it was that Latin had been kept alive in Spain throughout all the centuries since the Roman Empire collapsed, and would have sighed happily as she delved deeper into verb conjugations.
 Don Juan Manuel de Villena I read page after page of this medieval text, surprised by how much I understood. Had I attempted to read a similar text in 14thcentury Swedish, I would have failed dismally, but this medieval Castilian is a very, very close cousin to modern Spanish. There were also instances where the text was inconsistent: in one place, it said levar for “take to”, in another llevar (the modern spelling) I took this to indicate this was a language under development. After all, the first books to ever be written in Castilian were written in Alfonso XI’s reign by Don Juan Manuel de Villena, great-uncle of Alfonso. (Not the warmest of relations, seeing as Juan Manuel was mostly rebelling against his king and admonishing him to set his beloved mistress aside)
Like all chronicles, there were times when it was exceedingly repetitive, and I will readily admit I didn’t read all of it. But what I read, helped me enrich my narrative—and I do believe I can thank my mother and her passion for language and reading (passed on to me since I was knee-high) for having found this so enjoyable—and informative.
King Alfonso XI’s life was a life dedicated to war—against his rebellious noblemen, against his father-in-law, against the Marinids. But then there was Leonor, his beautiful, supportive and loving mistress, offering him solace and moments of joy. Obviously, this did not endear him—or Leonor—to the humiliated Maria of Portugal. How it all ends? Well, I suggest you read Queen of Shadows to find out!

What’s Queen of Shadows about?
 She should have stayed in the shadows—but Leonor de Guzmán yearned for the sun
Castile in the 1330s is a place of constant turmoil. King Alfonso must contend with the incursions from the Muslim Marinids eager to reclaim Al-Andalus while struggling with repeated rebellions against his firm rule.
When Alfonso needs respite, he finds it in the arms of his Leonor—the most beautiful woman in the realm. But while he may love Leonor over all others, his lawful wife, Maria of Portugal, is tired of being constantly displaced by the fair Leonor.
Leonor loves her man. She gives him healthy sons, a place to be himself. But she is only a mistress, even if Alfonso treats her like a queen. Leonor’s enemies watch and hate.
Flying too close to the sun comes at a high price. How much will Leonor’s love cost her?Blurb

My thoughts
Leonor de Guzmán is the epitome of a powerful medieval woman. Beloved of King Alfonso XI of Castile in 14th century Castile and treated like his queen, she is the mother of his ten children including many sons. However, Alfonso had made a political marriage with Maria, the daughter of the King of Portugal. And here is the crux of the story – legal queen and shadow queen.
Passions spill out over this classical triangle, something Ms Belfrage is expert at depicting. But she is too good a writer to keep it that simple. She deftly portrays the conflicts at the heart of the three characters’ thoughts, emotions and actions all played out under searing heat of the sun and within the deep undercurrents of political intrigue and jealousy.
Medieval Spain in the 1330s was in the throes of identity conflict, illustrated very well by Alma, a young woman of mixed Castilian and Moorish blood serving Leonor. Her story illustrates the subterranean tensions of Castile: the uneasy coexistence of faiths, cultures and heritage. Alma is steadfast and loyal but must navigate the brooding hypocrisies of many around her.
Ms Belfrage also excels drawing the contrasting faces of Castile, the more northern high plateau and the sun-drenched south. As well as revelling in magnificent architecture, we experience day to day aspects such as food, herbal medicine and travel so vividly we can almost smell, taste and feel them.
This is a poignant story of love and power, of fear and joy, of jealousy and generosity. Sometimes it’s a difficult read, but a rewarding one. The past is not a romantic place of silk dresses and noble knights. These were people in some ways like us with their fears and cares, their loves and compassions, but in other ways, alien to our modern values and attitudes. And Ms Belfrage ensures we feel and see everything. Highly recommended.

 I’m delighted to welcome back the award-winning Welsh author and photographer Jean Gill on the occasion of the publication of her new book, With Raven Wine.
Jean lives in Provence, in France, with the best scent-hound in the world, a Nikon D750 and a man. Best known for writing epic medieval adventures in The Troubadours and The Midwinter Dragon series, Jean has published 27 multi-genre books since 1988, including the dog bestseller Someone To Look Up To.
Although she’s hung up her beekeeping gloves, she still cares about her wild neighbours, which include boar, badgers, foxes and hares.
For many years, Jean taught English, and was the first woman to be a secondary headteacher in the Welsh county of Dyfed. She is mother or stepmother to five children so life was hectic. With Scottish parents, Welsh and French residence and an English birthplace, she can usually shout for the winning team in sporting events.
I’ve been looking forward to reading this new book, the fourth and (sadly) final in the Midwinter Dragon series, a re-imagining of the Orkneyinga Saga in the 1150s.
Over to Jean to give us a glimpse of an epic journey (in several meanings of the word epic).
Who is the ‘barbarian’?
Everyone knows that medieval Vikings sailed extraordinary distances as traders. Their sagas and poetry are very modern in extolling the benefits of travel in broadening the mind. But how were they received in the countries they visited? And were they as bemused by the uncivilised behaviour of their hosts as vice versa? Respect for other cultures – or lack of it – happens in both directions.
 Manuel Comnenus, part of double portrait with Maria of Antioch, circa 1150 (Public domain, Vatican Library, Rome) In With Raven Wine, Jarl Rognvald’s company of 12th century Orkney Viking pilgrims are guests at the court of Manuel Komnenos, the Emperor of the Eastern Roman Empire (also known as Byzantium, and now Greece), on their way home from Jerusalem. This is related in the Orkneyinga Saga as historically true.
One of Rognvald’s band is my fictional character, warrior-poet Skarfr, and we see the scene below through his eyes, as he attends the emperor. Manuel is head-hunting Skarfr to be one of his celebrated Varangian bodyguard, highly skilled Vikings who traditionally formed the closest level of military protection to the ruler.
My research turned up an amazing 11th century Greek book of court protocol entitled The Book of Ceremonies, which detailed what the emperor should wear, say and do on all important occasions. It also gave the rules for a thoroughly racist game. As the book was still dictating ceremonial behaviour in Manuel’s time on the throne, I wondered, ‘What if the emperor and his cousin Andronikos were drunk and bored, and remembered the game…’
Uh-oh!
Excerpt from With Raven Wine
Andronikos forced a laugh. ‘Do you remember the Goth Game?’ he asked Manuel. ‘From The Book of Ceremonies. I don’t think I ever saw it played, but my grandfather did. What if we revived the game?’
Manuel brightened at the prospect of distraction. ‘I do remember. According to the book it was to be played on the ninth day to Epiphany, so the Patriarch would approve of us keeping so religiously to tradition.’ When he slurred the word religiously Skarfr realised how drunk the emperor was. As the Patriarch was happily absent from the feasting, he could not offer his approval in person, and Skarfr had no doubts that the ‘game’ proposed was malicious in intent.
Manuel and Andronikos tried to remember the rules. ‘Two sides — the Greens on one side and the Blues on the other. Two men acting as Goths on each side—’
‘—With their furs inside out!’ said Manuel, which for some reason induced hilarity in both men.
‘Then the Goths make the grunts and growls that pass for language among such barbarians.’
‘And the Greens, or Blues, as the case may be, reply in a civilised manner with the set responses to wish the emperor long life. It is a lesson to barbarians on how to behave in the City!’ Manuel explained.
‘And it’s funny,’ Andronikos pointed out. ‘Who should play the Goths? That’s the funniest part, gabbling away with nobody understanding a word.’
‘What about Nico?’ suggested Manuel.
Nico, a serious old man with only one tuft of white hair left on his head, said, ‘If my Lord so wishes,’ with an air of resignation.
‘I know,’ said Andronikos, as if struck by a brilliant idea. ‘What about Skarfr? He would look the part and he could even speak that Varangian language they use, then he would sound the part too. He could recite some of that poetry he composes.’
‘That would be funny,’ agreed Manuel, almost giggling.
Skarfr was seeking the polite words with which to say he’d rather die than be so dishonoured when three men in red uniforms came from the back of the hall to approach the Emperor.
Read on in With Raven Wine to find out what happened next!
What’s With Raven Wine about?
 Gifts from the gods come with a price. Warrior-poet Skarfr Kristinsson has crossed the world, facing exile and battles. Forgiven at last by his lord Jarl Rognvald, he is restored to honour but destiny is not done with him yet.
From the holy waters of the River Jordan to the gilded intrigues of Constantinople, Skarfr and his formidable trader-wife Hlif are drawn into a web of ambition, betrayal and vengeance. Hlif’s dangerous gift of dream-walking allows her to cross into the shadow world where the old gods still rule and where fate can be glimpsed, but never escaped.
While the pilgrim fleet is far from home, Orkney descends into chaos. Old grudges ignite, loyalties fracture, and blood is spilled, the ‘raven wine’ of sagas.
Epic, brutal and lyrical, With Raven Wine is the powerful conclusion to Jean Gill’s award-winning Midwinter Dragon series, a re-imagining of the Orkneyinga Saga, perfect for readers who love Madeline Miller, Bernard Cornwell and Matthew Harffy.
——
The gripping conclusion to an award-winning series. Don’t just read Viking history – live it!
Praise for the series ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A yarn fit for a Norse saga. Full of action, poetry and heart; a thrilling voyage through the vibrant world of the twelfth century.” Matthew Harffy

My thoughts
Well, it had to come. The Midwinter Dragon series is coming to its end. I shall miss Skarfr and Hlif. I’ve watched their struggles from childhood and their evolution into mature, strong adults. Of course, it’s Jean Gill’s skill that binds us to them and their fate. But she reveals other characters – Rognvald, Inge, Brigid, Fergus, Thorbjorn Klerk and Harald – in their nobility, suffering, scheming, loyalty, weakness and resolve with such deftness that they seem like living, breathing people.
Pilgrimage, which is at the heart of the book, is a strange motivation to most 21st century people, but in the 12th century, it was an intense spiritual journey undertaken in arduous circumstances; the more arduous the better for the pilgrims’ immortal souls. The effect on, for instance Rognvald of bathing in the River Jordan, touches him deeply, but he still remains a hard-headed and effective leader in a violent age.The crucial intertwining of physical and spiritual worlds dimensions unknown to us, but so real to the characters, especially Hlif and Skarfr – an essential part of their existence.
Byzantine opulence is a far cry from Republican Rome’s military austerity, but the Eastern Roman Empire is as full of intrigue and political conspiracy as the Republic in the west in Julius Caesar’s time. The author draws us deftly in so that we feel the ripple of silk, smell the perfumed gardens and relax in the steaming hot baths so well that we almost don’t notice the traps and corruption that lie beneath.
This is such a well-written book that I dreaded it ending and even more so the whole series. I can’t wait to see what Ms Gill gives us next.

 I will no longer see 20, 30, 40, 50 or even 60, but I don’t see myself as old. In my head, I’m still 28. Okay, possibly 32.
Last week, we hosted our children and grandchildren in the middle of a heatwave – up to 37C. By the end of the week, I felt 100 years old. Or more honestly, what I considered I might feel at 100. I might not get there, I might become a sprightly old dear. Or (more likely), a grumpy old woman.
But I caught myself out. Why did I assume I will be diminished and enfeebled? Why wouldn’t I still be working on my next novel?
Sure, I’d be taking it easier, walking a little slower, even taking an afternoon nap and going to bed early at 10pm, but that wouldn’t mean I would have come to a grinding halt.
But like all the ‘isms’, there’s always a gap between reality and perception. And let’s not even mention fake news or alternative facts.
Not only is ageism hard to avoid in life but it’s the same in any line of work, in the arts, and in every aspect of our culture, which is a great pity. It can inspire, especially when you’re told to take it easy now you’ve retired. (Falls over laughing.) Such a remark tends to spur me on. And who doesn’t like a challenge?
How does this matter when writing in order to publish?
Perhaps agents and publishers would prefer to publish a first novel by a 30-year-old writer with a potential career ahead of several decades than by a 70-year-old veteran writer, no matter how distinguished the latter’s career. Unless your recent book or books have sold exceptionally well, it’s a rough market for a new book, no matter its quality.
This is where self- or indie publishing enters the arena… Apart from relishing the enormous benefits of choice and control about every aspect of writing and publishing your book, you don’t need to explain or defend your age. There is no gatekeeper worrying if you can keep up and it’s totally irrelevant to the reader. Of course, going the independent route involves a lot of hard work, but that’s another story.
Older writers have secret assets
They’ve lived a long time, learnt a lot and gained many insights through experience, something many 30-year-olds haven’t had time to accumulate. They’re also more crafty, patient and persistent. They’ve had to be – they’ve survived life so far.
It’s not about age itself, but the perception of age
In Real Life, we ‘mature’ people, as children of the 1970s, wear jeans and trainers, go out dancing, drink and work ridiculous schedules. Many volunteer and end up running groups and associations, working as many unpaid hours as they did paid hours before officially retiring. We have zero idea about how to be ‘old’ and how to fit into society’s idea of senior citizens.
We’re often looking after our children’s children or our own parents. Either requires stamina, patience and an agile mind, Yes, we probably become a little tireder and may visit the doctor a little more often than when younger, but most of us are not at the slippers and knitted rug stage, if that was ever a thing.
And let’s just see writers as writers – people who create worlds and characters, and tell stories to beguile, challenge and enchant. It’s what they produce that counts, not the count of their years.
