I tend to stick to contemporary crime fiction so I don't need to do as much research. My one historical novel, due out in November 2017, involved a lot of research. It was fun and rewarding but very time consuming.Patricia Stolteyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17192369425956406122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-3722462243405822462017-03-31T08:23:21.765-07:002017-03-31T08:23:21.765-07:00I don't know anything about Kartikeya, but Gan...I don't know anything about Kartikeya, but Ganesha is my husband's favorite god, and nearly every time we went to India, we would visit the Rock Fort Temple in Tiruchirappalli. We have statues of him on our shrine at home. I think it's wonderful that you are writing about Hindu mythology. I'll definitely want that book. (Or those books, if this becomes a series.) And, yes, I think the research is well worth it. The more the better. Good luck with this. Can't wait to see the results.Elizabeth Varadan, Authorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01708206753256682635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-51940813160694252822017-03-31T05:22:00.787-07:002017-03-31T05:22:00.787-07:00I do a bit of research for my stories, usually to ...I do a bit of research for my stories, usually to check that I'm using the correct terms, etc. Good luck with that huge undertaking! :)Madeline Mora-Summontehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05529397293165046430noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6083612851716281896.post-41542659157580595422017-03-31T05:02:48.933-07:002017-03-31T05:02:48.933-07:00That is a lot of research.

I still remember cutting up sections of info and placing them in piles with the corresponding subject and then placing them in order. That's how I created the outline for one book.L.
