Guest Post:: This or That with J. Anderson Coats

 Today I have The Wicked and the Just author, J. Anderson Coats, stop by today. The book is a debut novel for 2012 and a must read for those who are interested in learning about the history of Wales. I enjoyed the book and will have a review of it next week. Ms. Coasts is here to tell us about her preferences for each pairing:

Wales or England?  Wales for leadership, England for military architecture


Country or city?  Country


Landowner or Lady of the house? Landowner


Historical Fiction or Contemporary Literature? Yes to books!


Pencil or Pen? Pen


Writing an outline or free write?  Free write


Outdoors or indoors? Indoors


*The Borgias or The Tudors? To live under, or hang out with?


Reading preference: Short shorties or novels? Novels


Writing preference: Novels or poetry? Depends on my mood

 *I should have specified the Borgias or Tudors question. I was thinking of which would be better to live under. My personal choice would have the Tudors. 




Cecily’s father has ruined her life. He’s moving them to occupied Wales, where the king needs good strong Englishmen to keep down the vicious Welshmen. At least Cecily will finally be the lady of the house.
  Gwenhwyfar knows all about that house. Once she dreamed of being the lady there herself, until the English destroyed the lives of everyone she knows. Now she must wait hand and foot on this bratty English girl.
  While Cecily struggles to find her place amongst the snobby English landowners, Gwenhwyfar struggles just to survive. And outside the city walls, tensions are rising ever higher—until finally they must reach the breaking point.
