In this episode of Rock Paper Write, Amy L. Watkins talks with award-winning author Constance Hays Matsumoto about her book, Fact & Fiction: How to Write a Novel Inspired by Family and History, a practical guide for writers who want to transform family history and historical research into compelling fiction.
Connie shares what she learned while writing Of White Ashes, how she balances historical fact with storytelling, and why she included her “Pearls of Wisdom” to encourage writers along the way. She also talks about the inspiration behind the book’s foreword and how Fact & Fiction can support writers and educators.
Whether you’re writing historical fiction, exploring your family history, or simply looking for guidance on turning research into story, this conversation offers insight and inspiration for writers at any stage.
