GUEST POST

Across the time

The story needs to be accurate as to the time you’re writing in. The etiquette, the speech, even the way in which the tables were laid and decorated. We then try to imagine how a person from the past would fit in to the world we live in today, and visa versa.

The past tends to be a harder part of the story to pull off, because there are so many things we have to take into account. For example, we have to consider relatives, and how relatives would react to this strange person turning up from the future… Women lived and behaved so differently, they hadn’t got a voice to speak out like we have today, so putting a feisty twenty-first century character in the middle of their perfect world would bring with it more than a few problems.

We then need to concoct a believable way in which our characters can travel through time, without making it silly or too farfetched.

I like to add twists, and interlinking parts to the stories, and even the sequels we write we try to interlink. Writing time travel the possibilities are endless, so we really have scope to use our imagination and create our stories.

The romance side of our novels are easier to write , though our characters don’t tend to fall into one another’s arms. Love is something that has to be worked at in no matter which century they reside.
