From History to Story: Writing Compelling Historical Fiction

Join author Susan Coventry as she discusses her novel, Till Taught by Pain, as an example of an approach to writing historical fiction. A signing will follow, with books available for purchase.
Susan Coventry is a retired pediatric pathologist, now a full-time author of historical fiction. Her first novel, The Queen's Daughter, set in the twelfth century, is the story of Eleanor of Acquitaine's youngest daughter. Coventry has now moved from the Middle Ages to the turn-of-the-twentieth century, from Europe to the United States, and from writing for a YA audience to writing for adults. Her new novel, Till Taught by Pain, recounts the life and love of Dr. William S. Halsted, the troubled first surgeon-in-chief at the brand-new Johns Hopkins Hospital. She also writes regency romance under the pen name Carol Coventry.
