Found a shady spot at a local fundraising event for National Trust Supporters Group this afternoon — there was a cream tea too!

When the world is in chaos, it feels really good to organize and lighten the energy. Trying to get a jump on my organizing goals for the new year since I'm having hand surgery on Jan 2. 1st goal, purge and organize books... so I can find things!

Structural edits are complete, and book 1 of my new #WWII series has gone back to my editor. 🎉🥳😅
Happy to report I’m feeling proud of this story about #evacuees from London’s East End arriving in #Wales. ☺️
Now to get back to the messy first draft of book two… #authorlife #historicalfictionauthor

I promise my books will NEVER be written by AI. They are ALWAYS about human experience and human connection.
Thank you ❤️

I spent a useful morning studying old documents. It’s reassuring to find evidence that the plot for my work in progress is plausible.

Christmas came early when we hosted a Not the Booker Prize longlist author on our blog -- get to know Hilary Shepherd, author of "Albi" and other acclaimed novels! ow.ly/9Oqm30lDqTY #authorQA #historicalfictionauthor #historicalfictionwriter #historicalfiction

On 14 June 1940, Cilieni School on Mynydd Epynt closed. 219 people from the local community were evicted and the mountain taken over by the army. For those displaced, it was the end of the world. I'm drawing upon this #Welshhistory in my next book. #CofiwchEpynt #Wales #WW2 #historicalfictionauthor

#HistFicMay Day 29. I write all year round. I also have another job, so I do most of my writing on weekends or on annual leave. I don’t get much spare time! #historicalfictionauthor #writinglife #authorlife #welshauthor

On this day in 1945, the Second World War finally ended. Today, King Charles reminded us that “in times of war and in times of peace, the greatest weapons of all are not the arms you bear, but the arms you link. That remains a vital lesson for our times.” #vjday #ww2 #historicalfictionauthor

Day 22

Research advice. Read widely but follow up by accessing original sources wherever possible.

You’re telling a story so you don’t need to include everything . Respect the record but let your characters live.

Day 23 - My website is invaluable and I’ve had some small success with Facebook ads.

The bulk of my promotion is through my in person appearances all over the West Country. #HistoricalFictionauthor

I’ve walked through that door at Dartington Hall, #Devon @DartingtonTrust many times, occasionally in Elizabethan dress, while leading tours and researching my novel The Dartington Bride

#HistFicMay Day 26. I mostly write on my laptop, drafting on Scrivener and then editing in Word. I also keep a notebook and pencil next to my bed. The best ideas come to me as I’m falling asleep! #historicalfictionauthor #writinglife #authorlife

Days 25, and 26 Writing habits

Where do you write?
In my very untidy office!

Computer, phone, tablet, typewriter or pen and paper?
Computer, but I use my phone and pen and paper for notes.

On 19 June 1940, the Welsh city of #Cardiff sounded its air raid warning for the first time. The fear of bombing had brought many #evacuees to #Wales in 1939. Soon, many British towns and cities would suffer the devastating impact of attacks from the air. #WW2 #historicalfictionauthor

Morning work. Write Julia's #morningpages about the glittering, frozen dew, the starry pre-dawn sky, and sugar-frosted trees. It will stretch into three pages of #gratitudes, if I'm observant. Happy #Sunday, friends!
