I haven't gone as deep into it with my books as you have, but, as you say, it can be both difficult and fun!Roger Eschbacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03588775352918614245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-188490281217241971.post-50594165455654549902013-03-23T20:14:37.674-07:002013-03-23T20:14:37.674-07:00I did research for extra vernacular (slang) of th...I did research for extra vernacular (slang) of the times for my books or listened to music of the period/watched movies, old TV shows, read old newspapers as well so that I may correctly evoke a sense of the era /decade...of course my current works reflect the decades from 1920-2000. For extra "pings " I added in events or news of that time that the characters comment upon or react to which also gives the reader a sense of the character's mindset or opinion. Not hard to do really. Now I am beginning to do historical research for my next series prequel books taking place from 1600-1900's, much<br />more difficult a task, plus I write in multiple languages! Egad! What a task! But how fun it is!Chris LSnoreply@blogger.com
