Description: Historical fiction is the hybrid child of two warring parents: fact and fiction. Hear how writer and journalist, Rosanna McGlone, threads historical fact into exciting narratives. How did she undertake her research for Feisty Females which is based on a medieval book, The Great Cowcher Book, second only to the Domesday Book? What are the challenges of writing historical fiction? And is it ever acceptable to tweak the truth? Women featured in the book include Nicholaa de la Haye, Alice de Lacy, Hawise de Quincy and Gwenllian.
