It takes imagination and a lot of time behind the words!

[sep]

This 1570 map sparked my imagination! (It doesn't take much to do that)

As I looked over the map I noticed something, there it was! The Duhare, an Indian tribe I had read about and heard about as I grew up in South Carolina. Many scholars thought the tribe to be a myth but as more and more people research them, more and more facts are surfacing that they were real!

I for one believe they were real, and after seeing this map, my mind went to work on my next story. I began digging into the research and have spent many hours on it. It seems the vikings gave some Irish people a ride to what is now South Carolina to establish a new land, a new Ireland. At this moment, none of this is in my new story yet, but who knows, maybe it will find its way in. I'm not finished writing it you know.

I love old maps.

I do as well, and as I write my fictional historical adventure stories, I need to be as historically correct as I can. So, as I build my worlds for my characters, and in my descriptions, I use old maps a lot to get it right.

I still have my childhood globe. It is so old it has the Soviet Union.
