The Power of Research for Authors

Author and librarian says research is a discipline, just like the writing craft. Not all challenges are necessary meaningful for authors to get into write somewhere else. Research lends an author's authority in their voice if they've done it prior to writing. If you read one of my novels, you're going to get the architectural details of a particular cathedral. And if we find a work of art, its going to be described in an exactly researched way.
