Expand commentGreat to meet you. I have one historical true story screenplay and working on a second true story from history. Would love to know what time periods your non-fiction history books and historical novels cover! When you say genealogist, can you describe in more detail what you do? Do you do work like Finding Your Roots?

I've often thought it's time to dust off the cobwebs of that history with some new retellings

Expand commentHi @Sue and welcome. I love history too, it fascinates me cos a lot of it has a knock on effect on how we lead our lives today. Even if certain history, didn't change in any way today's social structure, all history certainly leaves something for thought process. Anyone can blaze a trail in their own lifetime, that hangs in the ether long after they are gone. It's cool you got so much successful work out there on historical topics and I do a lot of research in pre/during/post second world war for my vintage noir The Smooze Series. It's not a novel however, (multi media) and is in production ready for 2023.

Expand commentThank you for the warm welcome! Ricki, when I say genealogist ,I mean that I track down the family roots of certain people.I have not seen 'Finding Your Roots' in the UK but have done some behind-the-scenes research for 'Who Do You Think You Are'. I am better known as being instrumental in recently rediscovering the previously unknown family roots of a number of Mayflower passengers. My books contain a lot of this newly discovered information, and newly emerging background stories of these people. I have acted, initially, as an historical advisor to certain projects in the past, only to then, show how, be put in front of the camera in such things as Kirk Cameron's 'Monumental', Ric Burns 'Pilgrims', Michael Wood's 'Great British Story' as well as appearing on BBC 'Coast' and the British Channel 5's 'Great British Ships- The Mayflower'. My area of interest in history broadly spans form the reign of Henry VIII to the English Civil Wars. I just love this history; the intrigue and the religious conflict that engulfed it!
