Comments on: AUTHOR INTERVIEW: Anna Elliott, part 1 http://writerunboxed.com/2009/07/10/author-interview-anna-elliott-part-1/ about the craft and business of fiction Wed, 23 May 2012 23:52:59 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.2 By: Penelope Lolohea http://writerunboxed.com/2009/07/10/author-interview-anna-elliott-part-1/#comment-120629 Penelope Lolohea Thu, 16 Jul 2009 05:35:04 +0000 http://writerunboxed.com/2009/07/10/author-interview-anna-elliott-part-1/#comment-120629 I have loved the story of Tristan and Isolde since I first came across it last year, and haven't been able to get it out of my mind since then. I also dislike the idea of the connection between the two characters happening because of a potion, and am interested in reading Anna's take on it. I loved reading this interview, especially the parts about Anna's research for the book. I am half-way through my first novel, and have already done a good amount share Google searches, though I know I have much more to do. Before I started, I had no idea exactly how much work goes into writing a story. The part about watching interviews with WWII veterans struck me, as I would never have thought of it myself, but it makes so much sense. I admire Anna for such thorough research. Thanks for a very interesting interview. "Twilight of Avalon" is next on my reading list!

I just received the classic, The Mists of Avalon.. & the task to read it looks daunting!! I loved the book & Anna’s interpretation as well ( she has an excellent guest post on my blog)

I'm working on a historical fiction novel, so this was really helpful to me. I could relate to so much of what Anna said. I’d love to buy this!

It definitely makes me want to read the book. :) Not sure I’d abbreviate the book as “Twilight”… but otherwise, hehe, I loved reading about her journey to publication, and her inspiration for this story.
