Charles Barnitz, guest-blogging about writing historical fiction

I'm delighted to report that one of my favorite writers, Charles Barnitz, will be guest-blogging this week about writing historical fiction. I don't know Barnitz personally, but when I recommended his short story collection, "The Peace Weaver," he kindly sent me a thank-you note. I know an opportunity when I see it, so I suggested that he guest-blog about historical fiction, since I thought that many of our readers would find it interesting (whether it's pre-Norman-Conquest medieval England, Barnitz's main time and place, or anything else). I was glad that Barnitz agreed, and his posts are coming this week, starting a few minutes from now.
