For the Wild Heritance novella, I decided that I needed to know more about medieval markets, handcrafts, and food. (The culture in the Wild Heritance series resembles – in some ways, anyway – our Middle Ages.) Yay, more research!
So I delved into those topics and came across something completely new to me: nalbinding. I love it when that happens! Look it up! And look for it in the novella when it’s published.
And then the need for a unique greeting custom for Wild Heritance Book 2 sent me looking into the fascinating topic of customs and etiquette around the world. I could spend a lot of time just exploring that topic! I found a plethora of information that gave me some great ideas for creating a greeting custom!
