[quote=""annis""]Are you planning a novel around the Boudiccan Rebellion, Faith?[/quote]
It's the setting for the first part of my WIP (alternating with the Kingdom of Kush then moving on to Rome and Pompeii.) First draft is done and I'm into the rewrite and fact checking. Boudica has always been a favorite of mine. A docent at the Museum of London, said Boudica meant "victory" and we don't really know the queen's name. I'm trying to nail that down as well as the usual everyday details. Research...the most fun part of writing!

Now that's interesting. I have just been dealing with her in relation to the goings on at the French court during the marriage negotiations for Chalres I and HM -- and, of course, the goings on between the DoB and Anne of Austria.

I have started using Kindle for PC because I have no more room for another pile of books. My daughter says that piles of things in the house are called ADD piles. Hmmm! I think the piles are there out of sheer desperation because my bookshelves are full.....time to ask my hubby to put on his carpenter persona and build me some!
