Hi there, Historical fiction transports readers to another time and place, either real or imagined. Writing historical fiction requires a balance of research and creativity, and while it often includes real people and events, the genre offers a fiction writer many opportunities to tell a wholly unique story.
For many writers, it is location that triggers enough emotion to make them delve into the past history of a place they hold dear. For others, it's a particular period in history, or a character of the time, that fascinates them.
