Today I have a real treat – a visit from Anna Belfrage, a brilliant – and prolific – historical fiction novelist. I first read Anna’s fabulous “Graham Saga” when she was awarded the prestigious HNS Indie Award by the Historical Novelists Society. I love how Anna combines intricate research with heart-warming fiction, creating unforgettable stories. And, her latest release, Her Castilian Heart does just that. If you’d like to jump right to my review, it’s here. Otherwise, learn more about the novel and the fascinating historical background of 13th-century Europe in her guest post today.
