My first blog focussed on Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God. 

What I forgot to explain was the title.  Many Americans have probably encountered the name of Jonathon Edwards, when learning about the Puritan settlement of New England. He was a fiery preacher, who was passionate about keeping his flocks in a state of Godliness by preaching the eternal horrors of hell.    

One of his sermons, the most famous, was titled Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God, which is why when you look up my book on Amazon, you find other books with the same title, all publications of the famous sermon. 

Most Puritan preachers focussed their sermons on an interpretation of a quote from the Bible. This particular verse was ‘Their foot shall slide in due time…’

Dear Historical Fiction reader,

I’ve started a blog focussing on my research journeys for my novels. I thought maybe some of you might be interested in sharing my sources. It’s a part of the writing process that I love and never get sick of. 

I’ll write in the order of my books. For my first few blogs I want to focus on primary sources. A wonderful resource is archive.org.  Through this you can access many original texts, in their book form. It has a search function, which is priceless. 

 Firstly memoirs, diaries and letters.
