Hi everyone - from a newbie in the field.

Hi everyone
I'm a 42y woman from Switzerland and always wanted to write a book. My friends encouraged me, saying I probably could pull it off, so here I am :).
So far, I'm in the research stage of what I hope will eventually turn out as a Historical Fantasy novel.
 
Welcome! I hope you have a good time here. What kind of historical fantasy are you aiming for?
I'm aiming to write something in the period around 16th-18th Century in rural Switzerland. A time with episodes of famine, plague and witch trials, with religiousness and folklore. Since there is a lot happening in those years I'm quite busy researching what people exactly believed, how they did farming, what were the actual reasons behind witch trials, how they tried to escape the plague etc. Also some problems were quite focused in specific areas so I am trying to find which particular villages/areas would be accurate.

That actually sounds quite interesting.
