Kidnapped from a town in North-east Africa, sold to the sultan in Istanbul, then brought to Russia by the Russian ambassador and presented to the tsar. After which his life got even more interesting. I'd love to read a book about him.Mary Witzlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06458299046574564155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176298515094230212.post-60987171061321971262011-05-21T22:58:02.979-04:002011-05-21T22:58:02.979-04:00I haven't written for adults yet, though I'...I haven't written for adults yet, though I've been thinking about it. For the most part, I think most if not all the writer friends I know write for children, whether PB to YA... I wonder if that means there is a greater demand for adult writers? LOL.<br /><br />I hope you have fun on your trip. Just stay open-minded, and let the ideas come!Katrinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18293316104653990391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176298515094230212.post-85257066328630915952011-05-17T17:39:01.998-04:002011-05-17T17:39:01.998-04:00I've never considered writing novels for adult...I've never considered writing novels for adults, so I'm not much help here.

I'm working on an historical novel right now and I think it can still be fresh even though it covers some very well documented ground, because a child-reader is looking at it without prejudice.Midnight's Staffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17007537255195792289noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1176298515094230212.post-80058034897097645002011-05-17T10:02:29.675-04:002011-05-17T10:02:29.675-04:00Evelyn Eaton wrote for the New Yorker in the 1930s...Evelyn Eaton wrote for the New Yorker in the 1930s-40s and wrote historical fiction.
