Today I’ve been chatting with Vanessa Couchman on her blog about how to meet wartime fiction readers’ expectations, even when your story isn’t set in one of the places where they expect to find themselves when they open the book and turn to the first page. Since I’m writing the Second World War saga series, The Yankee Years, set in Northern Ireland during the war, I’ve had a bit of experience with this quandary.

If you’d like to hear what we discussed, you’ll find my post here.
