I want to keep adding to my reference library, mainly as a way to thank other authors who've compiled the information that allows me to write historical fiction.
 I wish I'd had "Writer's Guide to Everyday Life in Renaissance England, by Kathy Lynn Emerson, earlier. It  would have save huge amounts of time. The books is well organized and is packed with detailed information on all aspects of Renaissance England. I've been researching this period for years and still find much I didn't know. It also clarifies some of the things I've found difficult to research. For example, there's an excellent list of alternative cosmetics to ceruse, which I found very interesting. 
"Writer's Guide..." was first published in 1996 by Writer's Digest Books in Cincinnati  Ohio. I highly recommend this book to all of your period writers out there! It's an excellent addition to my research library!

    Hobbies?  I've adored cats all my life. I came to love Shakespeare when I was introduced to him in college.  I developed an interest in herbs when a dear friend was diagnosed with cancer. I learned about the complex politics of Shakespeare's world when another friend gave me a book, "Shadow Play," by Clare Asquith.
