The Research is nearly over and the writing begins

Ah, the pre-Christmas mayhem is over! Now, I can continue again creating Native Hope. I've done a mountain of research to gain the correct historical background for this trilogy. The first book in the trilogy, Native Hope - Ancient, has an historical background that takes place in 1500 B.C. . This fictional story takes place on one of the inhabited islands in ancient Polynesia. I think you will find it interesting how people lived in those times and the communities they formed.

I'm a great fan of world history now. I've read a lot of books on some of the great world leaders, such as Russia's Catherine the Great and the Romanov dynasty, France's King Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette, South Africa's Nelson Mandela, Poland's Lech Walesa, Egypt's Cleopatra, Italy's great saint- Padre Pio, America's Martin Luther King and Abraham Lincoln, among many others. I wanted to determine what motivated them to become leaders and find a common thread that separated them from the common man/woman. Native Hope has given me the impetus to explore the great leaders of the South Pacific, who were mostly powerful tribal chiefs.
