Guest Blogger: Jesse Bullington

November 30th, 2009 admin

This week, in the midst of looking back on the year, and the decade, that are coming to a close, we're also offering you something fresh: a debut novelist, Jesse Bullington , who will be guest-blogging at Omni all week. Jesse's debut, The Sad Tale of the Brothers Grossbart , was released this month by Orbit (with a gorgeous cover, designed by Keith Hayes and Lauren Panepinto with an illustration by Istvan Orosz, that could easily have been a contender in our Best Covers of the Year competition). Set in the plague-wracked Europe of 1364, it&#…

[Now that we've reached the end of the week I want to profusely thank Tom for putting me up here, Jeff VanderMeer for introducing us, and everyone for reading, it's been a great week!

History, Fantasy, and the Blurry Lines of Literature (Guest Blogger Jesse Bullington)
The best thing about writing historical fiction, for me, is the history. There is no substitute for hitting on some obscure fact or figure and realizing in this crackling flash that all the problems I was having with Chapter 17 are banished, and better still, the novel will be more fun for history buffs in the bargain.
