		<description><![CDATA[	Hope I&#8217;m forgiven for co-opting the words of the cherished hymn for the title of this blog.&#160; That is truly what it&#8217;s felt like for much of the past seven or eight months.
	Last November I finished book four in the City series, now called City of God.&#160; I then took a deep dive into copy [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	One of the delights of the intense research required by writing a novel set in past times is discovering something that was earth-shaking news when it happened, but is now forgotten by all but professional historians.&#160; As I go forward with this fourth book in the City of Dreams series – wait for a new [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[	When I&#8217;m not actually writing my own fiction, one of the things I do that I like best is to mentor other writers.&#160; I&#8217;m working with a couple right now who are truly wonderful, and when their books come out it will be my great pleasure to shout their praises to the skies and do [...]]]></description>
