They are totally animated and a lot of fun. Those that don't fight are just as enthusiastic and talkative about their favorite activities. I've eaten some fantastic SCA feasts, marvelled at beautiful dresses, and been impressed with incredible works of art. If you can get yourself to ask just one question, you'll soon be caught in a very cool conversation.Francesca Hawleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09280521929025352600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7657821442328527541.post-75301460953285422632009-06-04T14:05:49.195-04:002009-06-04T14:05:49.195-04:00Beth - if I had found the SCA when I was younger I...Beth - if I had found the SCA when I was younger I'd have been in a lot longer than twelve years.

It fits a military, police, or firefighter now and it fits throughout history. I value all the input I received from the fighters I was in contact with.

I'm familiar with the SCA and love to watch their re-enactments. <br /><br />Writing historicals has to be really hard work with all the painstaking details to which you must pay attention.<br /><br />Your writing not only encompases those details but it is so chocked full of passion, too.<br /><br /><i>Seeking Truth</i> is a great read.

They are so into their era sometimes you can't get them to shut up - but most times that's a good thing. :-)<br /><br />Minx - I'm so glad you're enjoying my book. I took a few historical liberties, but I tried to stay as true to the era as possible.
