Why Read Historical Fiction Anyways?? 

Guest Post by Lars D.H. Hedbor

 When our daily lives are filled with technology in all its glorious forms, reading about people and events of the distant past may seem about as relevant as churning our own butter instead of running down to the grocery store when we run out. However, as The philosopher George Santayana famously observed, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."

With the way that much history teaching and teaching is conducted, too, studying the past can seem a daunting proposition - all of those dates and names and battles and geography to keep straight! There is another approach, though, that can provide not only a clearer understanding of our past, but can bring to life the people and places involved in a way that no mere classroom recitation of facts could even do - historical fiction.

A carefully-researched, well-written historical fiction novel returns history to its roots - stories, about people. It reminds us that the nearly mythical figures of the past were, in fact, human beings like us, folks who lay awake at night with anxiety about the day to come, ached with longing for the object of their affections, coughed when they got a tickle in their throats, and wept at the losses that visited their lives.

The events that unfolded around them, for the most part, didn't feel like "history" to them, but rather, were just their everyday lives, and their actions - now seen as heroic or vile - were simply the best choices they could make, of the options available to them. Too, most great events in history are shaped by far more people than the few names that show up in textbooks and on roadside historical markers. Reading about how they faced those events can help remind us that the seemingly insignificant decisions we make in our everyday lives might just have historical implications, in the fullness of time.

As you are drawn in by a good historical fiction novel, too, you may well find that you become curious about things that are just off stage of the story. Whether it's an event that one of the characters alludes to, or a person about whom you just have to know more, a really good historical novel can inspire you to undertake some research of your own. You might look for another novel at examines the same events from a slightly different viewpoint, or you may find that nothing short of primary sources and thick academic tomes will satisfy your itch to better understand the stories of the characters you've come to know and love (or hate).

While a "serious" historian might look down her nose at you for relying on historical fiction to learn what lessons the past may hold for your life today, most novelists in the genre take very seriously their responsibility to get the facts of their stories right. Ultimately, though, any avenue that leads us to a better understanding of the past, and informs our approach to the events we are caught up in ourselves helps us to make better decisions as to how we'll respond, and makes it more likely that when the history of our times is written, we'll be happy with what is said.

Lords of Prophecy Blog Tour!

Welcome to the final week of the Lords of Prophecy Blog Tour hosted by Kismet Publishing! I've been asked to read and review Book number 3 in the Epic MG Fantasy series The Prophecies, The Lords of Prophecy. While I wish I would have read the first two books, I really enjoyed the final chapter in the trilogy! Check it out below!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 Title: Lords of Prophecy
Author: Michael A. Rothman
Series: The Prophecies #3
Pages: 460
Publisher: M&S Publishing
Date Published: March 1, 2013
Format: Paperback
Genre: Fantasy

Synopsis:
The time of the final battle approaches as the barrier that’s kept the demons at bay for centuries crumbles. The prophecies have promised the emergence of two brothers, lords of the prophecies who are destined to lead Trimoria’s forces against those of the demon lord Sammael. Yet, the challenges that the Riverton brothers face are none that anyone could have anticipated. Assassins seek the end of the king’s reign, debilitating madness overwhelms many of the wizards, and the sudden appearance of an emissary from a long-lost civilization brings with it unexpected consequences. The Riverton brothers must overcome the challenges arrayed before them, for the demon lord’s minions are amassing at the border. The future of Trimoria hangs in the balance.

My Review:
I wish I would have known this was a series before I read this book! Not that this wasn't an excellent story, but I felt like I had missed something in a lot of the scenes. That being said, I think this could be read on it's own (after all, I did...) but I bet it would be way more enjoyable if you had followed the characters from their humble beginnings and watched them grow into the men and women and demons...that they are today.

Aaron and Ryan are brothers that are preparing for a huge battle with the demons. Unfortunately things aren't going as planned and a lot of drama ensues as they are attempting to get everything set up. There was a lot of spikes of action involving the brothers throughout the book, and we also got to really get a feel for the setting as the plot journeys around the land of Trimoria. I found myself turning the pages faster and faster as the action commenced and even though I haven't grown quite as attached to the characters as someone who has followed them from the beginning, I found myself biting my nails during the intense battle scenes because I was so scared about who would make it through to the end.

I loved that so much of this book was unexpected. I would be reading along, expecting one thing to happen because it seemed like the clues were leading that way, when BAM! Something completely unexpected fell out of nowhere and shook me from my stupor. I like books that keep me guessing and this book had lots of that. I will definitely be going back and checking out the first two books in the series so my reading experience will be complete...even though I kind of already know the ending now.

Meet the Author: 

I've been writing throughout my career as an engineer, however my writing had been relegated to technical books and technical magazine articles. Heck, you might even find a couple of those musty tomes still for sale if you look hard enough. With my foray into epic fantasy, I've shed the shackles of technical writing and created novels that I hope will be attractive to a much wider audience. I've always admired truly epic tales. You know the ones I mean. The book you crack open, wander through and utterly get immersed in. The story takes you on twists and turns you never expected, run into dead-ends that make you wheel your arms backward to prevent you from falling into an endless abyss. By the time you reach what you think is the end, you've read hundreds of pages and realize the end is really only the beginning of the story. You close the book and wonder out loud. "Do I have the next book? Is it out yet?"
As to my other writing activities, I've completed another as of yet unreleased novel in the Prophecies series, and they are scheduled to be released as soon as - well, as soon as the paperwork on them is complete, and the lawyers nod their heads up and down.
I hope you enjoy the novel.

If you guys missed out on the first books of the series, feel free to check back over the last two weeks of the tour so you can get caught up! There's a lot of fun posts along the tour that you don't get from the synopsis's (synopsi?)  Here are a list of the previous tour hosts and the Synopsis's of the first two books for your enjoyment!

Excerpt: Platinum Passion

He came to her on the night of their twentieth wedding anniversary.

Jeannie was lying in bed, straining to read the last page of her book in the weak circle of light cast by the bedside lamp. Jake snored gently as he lay beside her fast asleep. She sighed with that mix of contentment and regret that she always felt when a good book ended, and was about to remove her reading glasses when he was just…there—standing in the doorway of her bedroom clad only in faded denim jeans.

She gaped, too stunned by his appearance to even think about being afraid, though afterwards she wondered what the hell was wrong with her that she hadn't made a sound. Not even a squeak of terror, though it wasn't terror she felt as she stared at the stranger in her house.

The stranger who had just stepped straight off the cover of the romance novel she was still holding was standing there smiling and beckoning.

The picture in front of her shook as she looked down and then back up at the real deal in her bedroom. Almost exactly the same, with unruly black hair curling down into eyes that pale emerald color of the sea on a fine day, sharply cut cheekbones that gave him a sensual air, an a darkly tanned body so honed to muscular perfection she could see why he was currently the most popular model of the day for romance book covers. Including the one in her suddenly vice-like grip.

She squeezed her eyes shut then popped them open again.Yep. Still there. Still looking as hot as an ancient warrior. In fact, far hotter in the flesh than he appeared on the printed page. Her insides contracted in a sudden, pleasurable ache. One that she hadn't felt in a long time.

Read ahead with this exclusive excerpt to see if this book about revenge is as sweet as it sounds!

~~~

Chapter 1 – You’re Snot or You’re Not

We almost never got revenge requests during the summer. It was like the crushes and fights and trash talk and other junk were all part of some weird science experiment that could only exist in the Petri dish called Marina Middle. But three days after school started that year, we were back in business.

On the first day back, Greg Bilski, a seventh grader, walked up behind one of the sixth graders and goes, “Hey Snot, how was your summer? Have a nice trip?” Greg stuck his foot in front of the kid, gave him a shove and sent him flying. The kid dropped all his back-to-school stuff – pens, pencils, notepads, you name it – as he tried to break the fall, but he didn’t get his arms out fast enough.

Shredding the elbows of your new shirt isn’t the worst thing that can happen to you on your first day of school. It’s being reminded you’re a Snot. A rookie. A lowly sixth-grader. Having a ton of people point and laugh at you when all you were trying to do was find your way from Earth Sciences to History probably didn’t help much either. That’s where we came in. Say you had a beef with somebody at school, somebody like Greg. If you sent us an email stating your case, and if we thought it was justified, we’d deliver a little payback on your behalf.

Alan, Greg’s victim, emailed us on Wednesday....

Review Tour: Never Ending Night by Tanya Stowe

Never-Ending Night is an Inspirationl Romantic Suspense by Tanya Stowe that released Friday. Tanya will be awarding a print copy of her Inspirational historical, Tender Touch, at today's stop (US only - eBook copies will be substituted for international winners). A grand prize of ecopies of the first 4 books in the Heart's Haven collection will be awarded to a randomly drawn commenter during the tour, and a $10 Amazon GC will be awarded to two randomly drawn hosts.

READ THE BLURB

On the eve of the Battle of Shiloh, Union soldier Tyler Sheridan has a premonition he is going to die. That night, he writes an epic anti-war poem called “Never-ending Night.” The next day, a cannonball explodes in front of him, but rather than walking through the gates of Heaven, Tyler steps into a modern-day Civil War reenactment. Confused by a world he can’t comprehend, Tyler has no choice but to rely on a beautiful and fascinating photojournalist for help. As Stacy Sutton watches Tyler emerge from the rising smoke of faux cannon fire, she’s amazed by the authenticity of his uniform and demeanor—and then he claims to be from the nineteenth century, a mere delusion according to doctors. But Stacy’s not convinced Tyler is delusional and sees helping him as her second chance—an opportunity to atone for the death of her partner...and her past. As the mystery surrounding Tyler’s appearance deepens, it threatens any hope they have of a future together, and Stacy finds she must discover whether the man she loves is a traveller through time or a mad man lost in his own delusions.

My Review:
I've always loved stories that involve time travel and the kind of relationships and stories that trancend their own time periods. I am very glad that I opted to review Never-Ending Night becauseit's just that creative and wonderful kind of story that sticks with you after you're done. There was  such an interest there for me interwoven with lots of different aspects for the story from Shell Shock (or Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) to a kind of battle with religion and keeping the faith. I was actually surprised by this last one, because normally topics of religion and faith have me running in the opposite direction. However, within the confines of this suspenseful and intriguing mystery, the faith issues were understandable and even enjoyable for me.

Stacy was an interesting main character. At times I wish I would have been able to see more of her. There were a few scenes where I was just wondering what was going on inside of her head and felt a little dissconnected from her where I would have liked to have been able to dive in deeper. When she finds Tyler walking in the battlefield you could really feel her connection to him and enjoy where the story was going.

I liked that there was a lot of Stacy healing Tyler. A lot of the time, it's the female lead that needs to deal with painful past issues, but in this case you get to see a strong and caring woman try to help Tyler deal with his traumatic past. I know there are a lot of girls and women out there who love the thought of being able to nurse a gorgeous guy back to health and that's exactly what Stacy gets to do.  The complexity of the story and romance really build throughout and I really enjoyed the kind of impossible possibilities that Stowe has created with this book. It kind of makes you think " What If??"

I liked the flow of the story a lot. The romance had a slow build and wasn't one of those instant "soul-mate" moments. You could feel the chemistry building between the two characters a lot quicker than they could, and I liked being able to feel that with them. I mentioned the religion before, and though it was nicely interwoven into the story, I felt like it did overwhelm the plot sometimes. There was nothing overtly preachy, just enough causal references to make me kind of start thinking, "Okay...I get it...got it...let's move on". I definitely still enjoyed the story and the characters though. It was a wonderful break from reality for any history, mystery, sweet romance, etc. buff. Enjoy!

He soon realizes his desire to protect her goes beyond doing his job, but if his judgment becomes clouded by emotions, her safety could be jeopardized. Can Ethan and Olivia learn to trust each other when they uncover secrets that will change their lives forever?

~Excerpt~

The footsteps drew closer. Her breathing quickened. The intruder paused outside the door and she held her breath, a death grip on the pepper spray. The barrel of a gun appeared through the doorway, followed by a man. In that split second, she blasted him with a steady stream.

“Shit!” he yelled, snapping his head away from the line of fire.

Unsure if she’d made a direct hit, she flew past him, still spraying the air behind her. Although it wasn’t a blanket mist, she couldn’t help but inhale some of the toxic vapors in the air. Her eyes burned slightly and she coughed, racing down the hallway and across the open foyer.

She was almost to the door when the guy yelled out in a raspy voice, “Touch that door handle and I’ll shoot it off.”

She came to a screeching halt, unsure if he planned on aiming for the handle or her hand. The blood pulsating in her ears muffled the roar of the lawn mower as it passed by near a window. Nobody would hear her scream. She eyed the security alarm keypad on the wall by the door. Two quick steps and she could hit the panic button. Two quick steps and she might get shot. She slowly turned around, her gaze locking on the gun pointed at her from the opposite side of the foyer. Sheer panic pressed against her chest, and she sucked in a deep breath.

The guy cleared his throat. “I’m not gonna hurt you.” He cautiously lowered the gun, but didn’t holster it. “Unless you spray that crap again.” He blinked rapidly and ran a hand up over the top of his head, sweeping back a clump of wet hair. Her aim had obviously been off. It was impossible to spray straight when her body was shaking uncontrollably.

The guy’s dark hair was just shy of touching his shoulders and he had a five o’clock shadow. A black T-shirt covered his broad chest and faded, relaxed fitting jeans contradicted his rigid stance. A scar across his cheekbone, and a thin one slashing his eyebrow, added to his don’t mess with me look.

“I’m Ethan Ryder with the U.S. Marshals.” The man flashed a badge, then slipped it back in his pants’ pocket.

If the mob had hunted down her dad, who was to say it hadn’t been through a U.S. Marshal snitch? He’d trusted Roy Howard, not Ethan Ryder. Maybe he wasn’t even with the U.S. Marshals. Rather coincidental that he showed up right after a robbery.

“I assume you’re Olivia Doyle?”

At the back of her mind she heard her dad’s voice. Don’t trust him, Livvy. You can never trust the people you know and that goes double for someone you don’t.

About Eliza Daly: 

Eliza Daly’s first attempt at creative writing was in fourth grade. She and her friends were huge Charlie’s Angels fans and she would sit in her bedroom at night writing scripts for them to act out at recess the following day. She was Kelly Garrett. Fast forward to the present, she’s still writing stories about beautiful women who always get their men. The journey from fourth grade script writer to published author wasn’t an easy one, but it was always an adventure and the final destination was well worth it. When Eliza isn’t traveling for her job as an event planner, or tracing her ancestry roots through Ireland, she’s at home in Milwaukee working on her next novel, bouncing ideas off her husband Mark, and her cats Quigley, Frankie, and Sammy.
