Kate Quinn on gathering material for great historical mysteries.
Nowadays whenever I read something truly off-the-wall in a historical novel, I think to myself "I bet that really happened, because nobody would make that up." Novelists, after all, are restricted by what is plausible: will a reader believe this could really happen? Reality knows no such constraints: anything can happen, and usually already has.
