The closest I've come is a Canadian story set in 1913 or 1939 (haven't figured it out yet), but I won't be writing that one for a while... Got so many to edit!<br /><br />I'm not surprised, Maria! I've featured Charles II on this blog before :-)<br /><br />Ooh, thanks for the link, Jo and the book recommendation, Vicki! Montreal in summer is definitely a great time to see the city.<br /><br />Thanks everyone for coming by!

I liked the ones that the teachers put on my tests back in grade school, too. And omigosh, I was just about to say that that Neuman picture looked like a Mad Magazine cover, too! :) I'm interested in the 1920s and 1930s, but I'm also interested in contemporary periods like the 1990s and the 2000s. I can still remember what life was like before the Internet, and it's interesting to observe (and write about) how much life has changed because of it.

I, too, never thought about him being a real person. How cool. <br /><br />A friend of mine wrote an award-winning YA book about Benedict Arnold (Steve Sheinkin), in case you're interested in some research.<br /><br />-VickiAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3029491889310063596.post-83504484639590408082013-02-27T16:44:20.039-05:002013-02-27T16:44:20.039-05:00Looks like they had an exhibit on everything.

Montreal still looks beautiful ... even in the snow.<br /><br />DId you have fun in Chicago? Sorry You had such LIMITED time.<br /><br /><br />I do hope you come back this summer and we could get together.<br /><br />I love historical novels and setting. You newest sounds very exciting. HOW MANY projects are you working on these days?<br /><br />My current favorite period in time is the 1940's. My current WIP is set in 1940's Chicago. Film Noir.<br /><br />I would perhaps write another few stories in this tim period. Perhaps set in Europe. The war is a great setting for any story.Michael Di Gesuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17047267262428143113noreply@blogger.com
