Historical Fiction

Historical fiction can be anything that happened before we were born or even while we were living, but is in the past.  It allows us to experience what it might have been like to be there in that place and time, to see, smell, hear, and feel the things those people did.  The story needs to have good character interaction and connections.  The facts of the time period need to be accurate and the values of that time need to be brought to life and explained so the reader can understand.  The clothing, music, speech patterns need to reflect the truism of the time period. And the theme needs to be relatable to modern readers and be universal.
