The Butchers Funeral: A Medieval Murder
Page 13
There are a great many excellent books on life in Medieval England. One of the best is ‘The Time Traveller’s Guide to Medieval England’ by Dr Ian Mortimer. This combines an intimate knowledge of the scholarship, by an acknowledged expert, with an unusually accessible readability.
The different chapters of the book were original published as separate ‘episodes’. While there have been recent trends that return to the idea of a serialised story, the idea of splitting the book up was to help make it achievable. Having not written fiction at length for around twenty years, I needed small goals. It also provided the opportunity to experiment with a number of ideas. The actual writing process took just over a year, with each episode published as it was finished. What was particularly pleasing was that the pace of writing picked up as the work progressed.
