I love history. I can't say I know enough about any specific area to publicly mouth off my passion but I believe I manage better than the average Joe plus the passion is truly there.
I am just about to start my very first history novel- set in antebellum America- and I am looking for any and all tips that I can get. I would especially like to get your opinion on the expected amount of knowledge a historical novelist should have about the setting of the novel and how much he/she should put into the book (only an opinion, I know this really doesn't have an exact answer.)
Thank you.
