If so, how can you have things happening that are part of the story, but the hero and/or heroine aren't present? Is it OK to use universal POV (narrator POV) in such a case?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />LindaLinda Banchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18143074276306710646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-44695305932661674242009-05-01T15:01:00.000-04:002009-05-01T15:01:00.000-04:00And the winner of this hour's drawing is....

My favourite era is mediaeval and earlier - I love Celtic romances but since I write fantasy I supose that's only natural.<br /><br />Amber - I can answer part of your question. Geographically speaking, 'Britain' consists of England, Scotland, Ireland - and Wales. (My native country, Wales usually gets forgotten somehow.) Not quite sure how this relates to the 'English Rose' line though.Hywela Lynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13789711554354184386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-75640941667983139682009-05-01T14:19:00.000-04:002009-05-01T14:19:00.000-04:00I agree with your POV point.

I'm now reading a Julie Garwood historical and I love Julie's stories, I really do. But the head-hopping! Every three paragraphs!<br /><br />I'm a bit curious about the English Tea line. Is it strictly British historicals or can a story take place in Ireland, Scotland, France, Italy, even further onto the Eurasia continent?Amber Leigh Williamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16583347236334318332noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5926989890703867833.post-57249630153610962742009-05-01T14:12:00.000-04:002009-05-01T14:12:00.000-04:00I love that the editors are such sticklers for acc...I love that the editors are such sticklers for accuracy of the time period.
