The devil is in the details

Today I am down at the Dancing Bear Lodge and working with Tom on the book. Last night we spent hours discussing plot fixes and scenes. It is evident that we are more together on what is happening than ever before. At the last critique meeting, a lady said that if we started the book with the babes being ripped from the mother's breast, then every woman who picked up the book would read it. So just for fun, and maybe to include the scene, I worked on it today. It is a difficult scene to write and portray the exact emotion needed. On another note - I have been reading a book that challenges "established facts" regarding Roman Britain and it has been a great source of information to connect some of the data points needed to fill in historical information. There has been such an upsurge of information found in the last ten years relating to coins and archeological findings in Britain. If there is NO archeological information then the established history must be questioned. I am sure that our book will cover groud never covered before on this area of history.-- Jon
