Research is at the heart of my writing process. I dive deep into historical texts, letters, and archives to ensure authenticity in my stories. Understanding the cultural, social, and political contexts of the periods I write about is crucial. I aim to paint a vivid picture of the settings, using rich descriptions to immerse readers in the sights, sounds, and feelings of the time. By blending facts with fiction, I strive to create characters that resonate with modern readers while staying true to their historical roots.
