Riding with the Queen of the Huns: None Beneath the Khan can have this Silk Road woman

(Anne Hart June 23, 2016) , 1 edition
When reading or writing the early medieval action or fantasy novel, have you ever wondered what it's like to write a time-travel historical novel set along the Silk Road? First you make a collage of historical facts of that period. Then you may whet your creative whistle by writing a short poem for inspiration or to open the flood gates of creativity. Start in right away with the action of the opening scene instead of describing characters in transit.

In this story, two teenage nomadic women in the early 10th century ride across the mountains. One is descended from the 4th century Huns. The other is a Princess of the Steppes and the Caucasus.

Both ride with the tamga of the horse seeking the orchards, a pet wolf, doing deeds of sharing, caring, and repairing in war-torn homelands and the open grasslands. Both are seeking new beginnings.

They are not where the Volga meets the Caspian, but with friends and cousins breathing deeply the sparkling air beneath my Mount Elbrus. They wait in their village, their aoul.

One is of the magnificient Caucasus, the other of the rolling Steppes north of the Black Sea. They travel through time in a land of orchards to the north, the scent of the birch trees, the patina, the starlight, seeking venture, value, and vision.

Sit at their table and experience the eternal light of the East, the highlands, the Steppes, and the respite of these mountains and rivers from the Caucasus to the seas of Pontus and Meotis. They are one from many seeking joy of life and to do acts of kindness in their time-traveling adventures, and now, they must deal with the realities of a marriage.
