For our first ever episode of The History Quill Podcast, our expert hosts (and authors in their own right) Theo Brun and Julia Kelly are joined by New York Times and International bestselling author of WW2 historical fiction and historical romance Madeline Martin. Based in sunny Florida, Madeline is a die-hard history lover with her works spanning medieval castles and Regency ballrooms. In this episode, Madeline shares why she loves writing about the WW2 period, what goes into her historical research, and how using a humble magnifying glass has helped to bring her stories to life. Books referenced in the episode: The Last Bookshop in London (Madeline Martin) The Librarian Spy (Madeline Martin) The Keeper of Hidden Books (Madeline Martin) The Light Over London (Julia Kelly)  If you want to find out more about the topics discussed, visit thehistoryquill.com/1 for the episode page on our website, where you can access a range of relevant resources.
