Poor Belgium. Or rather, poor me for not speaking Flemish.

It is more difficult than I would have expected to find books in English on Belgium in World War One. The ones there are, I am pretty sure I have found already. But I am bemused that there are so few

I think that I wrote that I’m working with a Polish holocaust survivor on his memoirs. He was talking about his childhood, and told me that his mother talked about when Napoleon swept through the region on his way to Russia.

I’m still having trouble wrapping my mind around that.

I've been stalking your journal a bit since Readercon, heh. Are you working on a WWI-era project, or are you searching just for personal edification?

If you don't mind I'm just going to go ahead and friend you... it will make stalking easier. ;)

Welcome, my stalker!

I am currently working on a WWI-set erotic novel with werewolves. The werewolves are spies, so I've been doing more research on occupied France and Belgium. It's a sequel to The Moonlight Mistress.

WWI plus werewolves, most excellent. I'm working on WWI plus killer robots at the moment, so it is definitely a formula I can get behind. I'll have to check out The Moonlight Mistress for sure.

Ooh, killer robots. I would make them get caught in the Western front mud like tanks, but I suspect that would not be very satisfying.
