The Novelist's Draftsman: Concealment as Craft

Guest Post on A Writer of History

I'm delighted to be featured on A Writer of History, the blog of historical fiction author M.K. Tod.

In this guest post – The Novelist's Draftsman: Concealment as Craft – I explore the craft of writing a protagonist who must hide his truth from the world around him – and what that means for the novelist.

The biggest gift from Poole of Honour was writing a characted who cannot speak openly. I have spent the movel learning how much is revealed by what people don't say, and by the end I hope the reader has too.
