To mark the launch of his debut novel, Liberty Bazaar, David Chadwick will take part in an interactive discussion with fellow historical novelist Livi Michael, author of Succession. The evening will involve David and Livi talking about the process of researching and writing historical fiction, including the importance of accuracy as well as the use of real historical characters and events. The discussion will later be opened up to engage the audience in a question-and-answer session. Both Liberty Bazaar, set in Liverpool during the American Civil War, and Succession, a Wars of the Roses novel, will be on sale at the event by Blackwells. Contact davidchadwick@ntlworld.com or the Burgess Foundation for further information about the event.
