Writing Women's Stories That History Forgot - With Author Elodie Harper

What does it take to write morally complex characters, handle dark subject matter with care, and bring ancient women&#39;s lives vividly to the page? We sat down with historical fiction author Elodie Harper — writer of The Wolf Den trilogy and her latest, Boudicca&#39;s Daughter — to talk about exactly that. No spoilers, no required reading. Just a genuinely fascinating conversation about craft, journalism, research, and why the &quot;grey&quot; characters are always the most interesting ones. Perfect for readers, writers, history lovers, and anyone who&#39;s ever wondered how authors make hard stories feel human.You can find Elodie online:https://elodieharper.substack.com/  / elodielharper  https://www.elodieharper.com/Timestamps0:00 - Intro1:14 - Elodie’s 2 Truths &amp; 1 Lie3:17 - How journalism led Elodie to fiction7:01 - Elodie’s morally grey characters12:30 - Elodie’s female characters in The Wolf Den17:27 - Violence against women in fiction22:40 - Researching for historical fiction29:17 - Why the focus is on Boudicca’s daughter31:38 - The Druids in Roman history33:21 - What’s next for Elodie Harper39:49 - Boudicca’s Daughter new paperback!43:08 - The reception to Elodie’s writing44:16 - Where does Elodie want to be in 5 years?49:45 - Wrap-up!Let’s connect!Join our Patreon read-and-watch club:   / krisandmadssisterhood  Have a business inquiry?
