Blog Posts from Anna KathrynMother and Daughter Colonial PrintersPosted by Anna Kathryn Lanier Mar 19 2012, 5:37 am By Anna Kathryn Lanier I found a wonderful new reference book, 4,000 YEARS OF UPPITY WOMEN. How can you NOT get a book about rebellious belles, daring dames, and headstrong heroines through the ages? For Women’s History Month, there are dozens of women to choose from, so I actually choose two, a mother and daughter – who printed the Declaration of Independence.

American Marines Land on Iwo JimoPosted by Anna Kathryn Lanier Feb 19 2012, 12:39 pm in Anna Kathryn Lanier, Flag Raising, history, Iwo Jima, Marines, World War Two by Anna Kathryn Lanier One of the most famous photographs in the world is of the raising of the American flag on Iwo Jimo, four days after three divisions of U.S. Marines had landed on the island 700 miles south of Tokyo. But the action captured on film was not without a price. Sixty-seven years ago today at 8:59 a.m., February 19, 1945, the first wave of Marines landed on Red Beach One for a decisive, bloody and month-long battle. Iwo Jimo is a speck on the map, a small dot in the Pacific Ocean. It is five Romance Through the Ages Contest – Now OpenPosted by Anna Kathryn Lanier Feb 17 2012, 2:10 am in Contest, Deadline, historical romance, Romance Through the Ages Contest The love of story runs deep in our souls. From tales around the campfire to a great book that makes us stay up all night, we long for narrative that makes us laugh and cry, that makes us believe and hope,that makes us eager for the resolution and yet dread we never want to reach the end. A story is greater than the sum of its parts. A story that sweeps us along is what editors and agents look for; it’s what readers crave. Hearts through History, a Special Interest Chapter of Romance Writers of America (RWA) is focusing on Empress Theodora of ByzantinePosted by Anna Kathryn Lanier Jan 19 2012, 6:06 am in Anna Kathryn Lanier, Byzantine Empire by Anna Kathryn Lanier I found a very interesting book a few months ago, GREAT STORIES FROM HISTORY 365 FOR EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR by W.B. Marsh and Bruce Carrick. As the title suggestions, there are 365 short essays on a historical event, one for each day of the year. So, here it is, an hour before my blog should be posted and I’m scrambling to find a topic. I actually found two or three events in GREAT STORIES FROM HISTORY that took place this week. One essay was on Emma Hamilton, Admiral Horatio Nelson’s mistress. Very interesting story Twelve Days of ChristmasPosted by Anna Kathryn Lanier Dec 19 2011, 6:44 am in Anna Kathryn Lanier, Christmas, holiday traditions By Anna Kathryn Lanier Okay, here’s a pet peeve of mine….those who don’t know when the twelve days of Christmas are. These days I’m seeing all sorts of references to the Twelve Days of Christmas. Between now and Christmas: get free books, recipes, or enter a contest. The only problem is that NOW is not the Twelve Days of Christmas. They are not the twelve days BEFORE Christmas. They are the twelve days AFTER Christmas.
