Prolific British author Fiona McIntosh faced the challenge of setting her latest two novels in an Australian landscape when Covid kept her from her usual European haunts. The result is “The Orphans”; a tale of love, murder and treachery set between 1930s Adelaide and the Flinders Ranges.  In her other post-Covid release, “Dead Tide”, McIntosh had to create a plot that allowed her to move her regular character, detective Jack Hawksworth,  from Scotland Yard to Adelaide.

and

Research and serendipity are at the heart of writing historical fiction. Author Dominique Wilson talks about how she goes about placing her fictional characters in a realistic world from the past, and how she finds a mathematical approach essential.
