About the Book Blog

     Hello, and welcome to my blog!

       Most of history is told from a male's perspective. My intent of this blog is to show history from a different perspective, a woman's. These books that I am going to review are about women in historical eras. These are both nonfiction and fiction and can fit into any genre: historical, YA, mystery, fantasy, etc.

     It took me a week to create this blog. I would like to thank my parents for helping me and for their encouragement.

     I would also like to thank my friend and computer wiz, Allen, for putting this blog up on the website. Without his help, this blog would most likely not be up right now for I do not understand computer software. I greatly appreciate his availability and kindness to help me.

     Last, but not least, I would like to thank those who visited my website. So enjoy my blog! I'll be updating consistently! :)

    Hello. My name is Cheryl Potts and I write historical fiction (yet to be published). As part of my platform, I am working on a blog, basically about my process and how it ties in with the research I need to do. Going to blogs about history, HF, and the craft of writing take up a lot of my time. I love your blog and would like to cite it. Not simply list it, but why I like it. Do not know if you need to know this, or if this is just a heads-up.

Interview with Meihan Boey

       Today, I have the pleasure of interviewing author, Meihan Boey. She is the author of The Formidable Miss Cassidy , which is the first novel in the Miss Cassidy trilogy. The first novel is about how a Scottish governess helps her employer's family who is haunted by a malevolent spirit. She has recently released, The Enigmatic Madam Ingram , which is the second novel in the  trilogy. In this interview, we discussed not only her latest novel, but also Singaporean mythology. Thank you, Mrs. Boey! What inspired you to write The Formidable Miss Cassidy ? Did you know it would be a trilogy before you started writing or did it form while you were writing it?  Yes, I did know I wanted to create a trilogy - I just didn’t know at the start whether or not I would be able to get there!  The Formidable Miss Cassidy started life as a COVID project, sent as a short story to a little Canadian indie press. Because I didn’t think a typical Canadian audience was go...
