Writing & Creative Process — How I Craft Historical Adventure Fiction
Welcome to my Writing & Creative Process hub — a behind-the-scenes look at how I create fast-paced historical adventure thrillers. Here you’ll find posts about my writing methods, drafting style, research workflow, and the creative challenges (and disasters) that come with building immersive stories like An Irish Mystery and An American Treasure.
Whether you're an aspiring writer or simply curious how my books come together, this hub pulls back the curtain on every stage of the creative journey.
