I hope you’re enjoying finding out about my Medieval Monday Maidens and we LOVE to write stories in this era. Today my guest is Lane McFarland.
My passion is writing historical romance novels. Throwing my imagination into years gone by,
researching dark periods of strife and violence, justice and quests for
freedom, and dreaming of what it might have been like to live and survive
during these hostile periods have been the most rewarding aspects of writing
historical romance. 
I’m fascinated
with medieval history and can get quite sidetracked in my research, absorbed in
reading about the goings on at the time from the political climate and issues
of the period to what
foods people ate, the clothes they wore, the pastimes they enjoyed. I can get
lost reading about the era and have to limit the time I spend immersed in
history.
My Daughters
of Alastair MacDougall
Series begins in May 1297, a time of unrest between
Scotland and England. It has been such fun to delve into this period and
imagine living amongst the clans. The
Turnberry Legacy Series
picks up in 1301 with Robert the Bruce vying for
Scotland’s crown, much like other power-hungry nobles who fought for control.
Bio:
My name is Lane McFarland and I write historical romance, spanning the
early Middle Ages through the American Civil War. While my books are fiction,
each one is based on historical facts, and you will often see known figures
such as William Wallace, Robert the Bruce, or The Red Comyn make guest
appearances. All my books revolve around human struggles, sacrifices survivors
are forced to make, and their resilience to live and thrive.
I’m a southern girl living on top of a mountain in North Georgia, and
I’m most happy when surrounded by family and friends. If I am not writing, you
can find me hiking with my husband, or fiddling around in my flower and
vegetable gardens, feeding the birds and watching black bears and deer. I am
blessed to have a wonderful son—my pride and joy, my buddy who, along with my
husband, have made my life complete.
