@wendypalmer I feel like a history book on the Great Stink would be an interesting read, I wonder if there are any

@neve
I'm Elektra Hammond. Find me at untilmidnight.com

See me talk about SF/F, writing, comics, TV, and Supernatural at Con-Tinual (the Con that Never Ends) on Facebook and Youtube.

My next convention will be Balticon on Memorial Day weekend, where Permutations, an anthology based on Jack Chalker's Well World will launch.

@wendypalmer I remember; that was called the Art Thief? A friend gifted me a copy of it. #Writephant

@neve #writephant Q4 Do you have a favorite book on writing craft?

No, I used to have a little collection a while ago but no longer.

@neve #writephant Q3 Have you ever taken a real historical event (or person) and worked it into your fiction?

I’ve been doing this more commonly with my last few books, mostly events — the Great Stink, for example. Even in my books set in fantasy lands, I’ve used real history to inform them.

My next WIP will use both real events and real people (minor figures only), as it will be set at Hampton Court Palace. I’m deep in the research part of it now.

@wendypalmer That sounds fascinating!

@neve #writephant Q2 Have you ever read a nonfiction book that turned out to be more entertaining than a novel?

Quite often! I’m dreadful with the titles, but there was a recent one about a couple whose hobby was robbing regional museums across Europe. A heist novel, but real (less fun, they tried to hide their crimes by destroying the stolen artworks at the end )

@neve #writephant Q1 If you read nonfiction, do you prefer memoirs, history, science, self-improvement, true crime, or another subgenre?

I used to read a lot of science in the biological, sociological and psychological fields, but these days read mostly history, and the occasional true crime as long as it’s also historical.

@adriabailton @neve Maybe Peaches and Sparky run for office? A doggy treat in every pot! #Writephant

@neve I would settle for some boring times right now. #Writephant

@Priyajsridhar I keep thinking of that phrase, May you live in interesting times... How historical eras that are peaceful come and go

@neve I like learning about science best or reading memoirs. History these days depresses me, so it takes a lot for me to read it.
With that said, with LGBTQ history under attack, I am requesting a lot of books so as to make sure they're still in demand. #Writephant
