I am writing my first novel. Hoping to finish it by the end of the year.
what type of novel? genre?
It would be fiction, published as just a book.
how long did it take you to write it? I like fiction I'm an avid non-fiction reader
I'm still working on it really, I studied literature and it is amazing how far back the novel really goes, about two thousand years.
sounds interesting what country does it take place in? I know its a fictional country but whats the name? any dragons involved?
No there are no dragons, I guess it is more like a historical romance, being very influenced by people like Bronte and Scott.
Like the Outlander Series? Does it take place on the fields of Scotland? Or Irish country side? What about the Turkish empire?  
It is more in this country or the country that came to be, focusing on more on two people and their relationship. Think Gone With the Wind
Got it. It sounds very interesting as a reader you have me intrigued.  I wish you much success .  Being a writer is hard work.  I couldn't do it I would mix up characters all the time.
