1.  What is the most unusual thing you’ve ever done in the name of research for a book?

I learned how to amputate a hand for my novel “Harriet”.  Not something I do on a regular basis.

2. Name a nonfiction book you’ve read for research that you wouldn’t have read otherwise.  Not including writing craft books.

“Ships Through the Ages”. My historical, “Captain’s Captive”, opens with a voyage to the colonies aboard a cargo vessel.  I wanted to get the details right.

3.  If you could travel anywhere to do research for a book, including back in time, where would you go?

Hands down…England during the reign of Elizabeth I.

 

I wonder what Carrie Elks has to say.  Let’s go see…..

    Well, if you ever get stuck with your hand under a rock, at least you will know what to do 😀 Great answers!

    1. Let’s hope it’s a skill I never need for any reason….
