I'm always fascinated by the stories...Hi Karyn,<br />I'm always fascinated by the stories of immigrants. What courage it must have taken for the war brides to leave everything they knew behind. The really amazing thing is that the majority of these often hastily arranged marriages worked and endured for many years. These women were tough and didn't give up easily!<br /><br />Thanks for your comment,<br />JanaJana Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624650840243322617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333091580028808174.post-69519616764174554022012-10-26T10:48:59.649-07:002012-10-26T10:48:59.649-07:00I approach research the same way I approach any la...I approach research the same way I approach any large project; break it into small, manageable bits. Look at one small aspect of the history you're interested in portraying and find out what you can about it. <br /><br />I hope my research adds depth to my work. That's definitely always my intention.<br /><br />Thanks for stopping by.Jana Richardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16624650840243322617noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333091580028808174.post-69505582895547133292012-10-26T09:30:05.044-07:002012-10-26T09:30:05.044-07:00It's a fascinating time in history, Jana, from...It's a fascinating time in history, Jana, from so many angles. From the horrors of a second world war to the way life changed after it was over. I love war bride stories. Stories like yours help me imagine what it must have been like to leave everything behind and come to Canada.Karyn Goodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137027268568162257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-333091580028808174.post-15063491774444146122012-10-26T09:07:02.782-07:002012-10-26T09:07:02.782-07:00Hello Jana,
Thank you for sharing the large amount...Hello Jana,<br />Thank you for sharing the large amount of research that you do to carry out your writing. When an author has command of the time and place the reader can just fall into the story and enjoy because they trust the author. <br />I look forward to reading Home Fires. I have enjoyed your short story, "Wings of Fire" in the SRW anthology. <br />You are right, when you suggest that the research will not be as overwhelming if you focus on the portion of interest, but I'm sure that all of your research has added depth to every story that you write. <br />Yours truly,<br />Annette BowerAnnettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14394198067619359985noreply@blogger.com
