Hopefully you will enjoy reading at my blog too. 🙂
Great introduction and home page.
Thank you.Anything about it that you particularly liked?
I like the simplicity of the layout. While most add a plethora of photos, I like that I’m not bombarded with them in efforts for the author to use up white space.
If you are into history, my fantasy setting does evolve from alternate middle ages history. Thanks for visiting and the like. Hope to see you again.
Alternate how? I’m interested.
I start in late 700AD and start with the idea of what if the Vikings had come to an alternate North America (my fantasy setting) settled and stayed while the old world (Asia, Europe and Africa) remained as it was. Then more changes began. You can see my developed timeline here for more: https://resonantpoint.wordpress.com/library/akiniwazi/timeline-of-akiniwazi/
This is the basis for the setting. The story itself takes place after 1500AD. So lots more timeline to share.
So it actually takes place right at the end of the medieval era just starting into the early modern era. After Columbus ‘discovered’ America.
Early Renaissance, but some events happen to change Columbus ever discovering the new world… but then again from the view of the novels, who knows what happened that way? ;c) I’ll have to expidite my writing of Den Lange Vinteren.
Your blog reminds me, beauty is in simplicity, loving the content you offering and this a beautiful introduction on your about! Looking forward to reading more of your work dear. Cheers!

Hi there, I have nominated you for the Versatile Blogger Award!

Hi Carol,
I’ve shared one of your post about balanced on a blade’s edge on twitter and followed you as well. Is it possible I could contact you for a possible conversation about posting my content in your guest author page, that is if you still accept guest post. Thanks Carol, looking forward for your reply.
Thank you for the share. I’m actually about to start up a series of guest posts every Wednesday, beginning in October. The theme is the most difficult moment you’ve faced as a writer and how you moved past that.
Would this be something you’re interested in?
Hi Carol,
I would love to contribute and be part of your blog. You’re right at some point. 🙂 Looking forward this October. Thank you.

It’s good to meet you. I’m glad someone is taking over Diana’s prompts. 🙂
Good to meet you too. Thanks, I’ve missed the prompt so it’s a little bit selfish on my part but I’m hoping everyone will enjoy it.
I’ve missed the prompt too. You selected a great photo.

Hello I just read your blog on Shropshire witches and wanted to let you know that I am the descendent of Kathryn Garner who was tried for witchcraft in 1636 in Shrewsbury, her sister in-law was tried the year before. Keep digging I think you may find more people who were accused than originally thought. I can share my sources if you would like
Hi Tyler. I did come across Kathryn but I wasn’t able to verify any sources before I wrote the article. If you could share yours that would be really helpful. She is included in new poetry collection I’m working on, but without being able to find her in the source materials I wasn’t comfortable adding her to the article.
I’m planning to return to the topic once I’ve finished NaNoWriMo so there may be another article at some point if I find more. Thank you for getting in touch.
