The Pleasure Never Ends
Writing historical fiction is a joy that never seems to end. I’m now editing the sequel to my first novel, A FALSE DAWN, and I have so much cool information that won’t fit into the sequel that I’m starting to use this info to write some short stories based on the characters and adventures I’ve just written about.
Perhaps I’ll make these stories available at the end of the sequel, when it’s published sometime next year. Or I might hold these stories and publish them in this space, here on the blog page, one story at a time, for those who want to continue following the adventures of my characters.
Either way, the adventures and the pleasures of writing continue. For the sequel, I’m also thinking of creating art work for the beginning of each chapter, which I did not do in the first book. I’m scouring Photoshop now for ways to take my own photographs and turn them into black-and-white line drawings.
One project leads to another. Just the way I love it.
About The Author
Jeff Heller
I'm a historical novelist who focuses on Colonial America, particularly the French-Canadians who settled North America in the 1600s and 1700s. My first novel, A FALSE DAWN, features Louise, a young wife and mother who must search for her son and her husband when the English invade their home in French-held Montreal and torch the city.
