Accurate Historical Fiction?

Have you ever read some historical fiction and realized the author had gotten it all wrong? Maybe the author should have taken the advice of our next speaker: Doug has expertise in all aspects of history. As an excellent resource for writers of historical fiction (and other related genres), he can teach us about all the details including weaponry, knighthood, titles, kingdoms, everyday life, customs, manners, dress, nobility, courtship, etc. We will be amazed at his wealth of knowledge.

As a master fencer, he has taught many members of the SCA, including a few who have gone on to be master fencers of their own, so, yes, he knows how to block out accurate fight scenes, as well as portray the folks on the sidelines watching.

You don’t want to miss this one! He might need some vict…volunteers to demonstrate what he’s talking about.
