I write westerns, some cowboy, some just out west, and hope in the future to write a medieval as good as Anam Cara--really enjoyed it. Wishing you the best. And thanks so much for sharing the fascinating connection of cowboys and medieval heros--great post.

Thank you for the interesting tidbits in your blog about history before America became colonized. It was really quite fascinating.<br />What state do you come from? Now that I know another southerner has joined the team I'm all eager and interested.<br />I wish you success and happiness.Sarah J.

And though I try to be true to the spirit of the era in my writings, I also don't want to make the setting so alien that readers can't connect to the world. But I so agree that the need to love and be love is universal. That's the need I always aim for.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-51145985212405256902015-08-19T08:02:26.223-05:002015-08-19T08:02:26.223-05:00By the way, we say y'all in the South where my...By the way, we say y'all in the South where my family comes from.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-41239493310354803782015-08-18T19:31:07.816-05:002015-08-18T19:31:07.816-05:00Welcome to the PRP Blog, Keena!

I write westerns because that was the landscape in which my first character appeared to me, but I do enjoy them all--westerns, medievals, contemporaries.

Whether in an individual centric society or a group mentality, humans were and are human. I did enjoy your comparison of the two societies. What really intrigues me, how we put our modern concepts into our interpretations of the past. Thank you for a very enjoyable post.

Still, the idea of the "knight in shining armor," does have something in common with the lone gunman fighting for right, even though Westerns are rooted in individuality and medieval in the societal idea of order and chivalry.

I'm looking forward to the next one.<br /><br />I read everything (of course!) in my editing, but for pure pleasure I love historicals of every time period. I always learn something. Right now, I am reading LaVyrle Spencer's book, Morning Glory. Cheryl Piersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18116526340220274282noreply@blogger.com
