James Alexander Thom Quotes
In My Long Career In This Historical Fiction Business, Though, I've Found That The Most Effective Storytelling Concept Is This: Once Upon A Time It Was Now.
That Has Become My Credo And My Method As A Longtime Historical Novelist.
It's Quite Simple, If You See As Janus Sees:
Today Is Now.
Yesterday Was Now.
Tomorrow Will Be Now.
Three Hundred Years Ago, The Eighteenth Century Was Now.
You, As A Historical Novelist, Can Make Any Time Now By Taking Your Reader Into That Time. Once You Grasp That, The Rest Is Just Hard Work.
Stay With Me, And You'll See How Such Work Is Done.
