Sinclair had stated, "I aimed at the public's heart, and by accident hit its's stomach." The laws he created are the Pure Food and Drug Act, and the Meat Inspection Act. His in depth details of the conditions, caused Theodore Roosevelt to put into effect new laws for the food industry. He worked undercover, in Chicago meatpacking stockyards, in order to write about the food produced there, as well as the awful conditions for the workers. ![]() Originally Sinclair had intended to write about the lives of immigrants who traveled to the United States, and living in Chicago. This book was published by Doubleday Page & Company, New York, 1906. This book is titled, "The Jungle," by Pulitzer Prize winning journalist, Upton Sinclair. ![]() ![]() I never imagined I would write a novel-much less three-based on the lives of the people I encountered in these books. For five years, I read about history because I enjoyed it. When asked how I researched Brazen specifically, I start with that foundation. I joke that I know more about Henry VIII’s family tree than I do about my own (but sadly, it’s probably true). I just hope I make it to the Civil Wars (English, of course) before I die. I still haven’t exhausted all of those possibilities. I devoured every Richard and Wars of the Roses book I could get my hands on and then moved onto the Tudors. Once I got started reading history, I couldn’t stop. ![]() And I wondered if the real Richard could possibly have been that bad.Īnd so I fell down the rabbit hole. He played Richard as a sympathetic sociopath-or at least such a delightful sociopath that I fell in love with him. ![]() ![]() I started reading about British history after seeing Ian McKellen in the film adaptation of Shakespeare’s Richard III. When people ask how much time I spend researching my novels, I usually tell them five years (though now, I suppose, it’s been more like nine). Katherine shares with us how she goes about researching her books, and specifically her latest novel Brazen. Today, I am honoured for The Anne Boleyn Files to be a stop on author Katherine Longshore’s blog tour. ![]() ![]() ![]() And then my vision fell upon the seven tall candles upon the table. ![]() I saw, too, for a few moments of delirious horror, the soft and nearly imperceptible waving of the sable draperies which enwrapped the walls of the apartment. I saw them fashion the syllables of my name and I shuddered because no sound succeeded. I saw them writhe with a deadly locution. I saw that the decrees of what to me was Fate, were still issuing from those lips. They appeared to me white-whiter than the sheet upon which I trace these words-and thin even to grotesqueness thin with the intensity of their expression of firmness-of immoveable resolution-of stern contempt of human torture. Yet, for a while, I saw but with how terrible an exaggeration! I saw the lips of the black-robed judges. This only for a brief period for presently I heard no more. It conveyed to my soul the idea of revolution-perhaps from its association in fancy with the burr of a mill wheel. After that, the sound of the inquisitorial voices seemed merged in one dreamy indeterminate hum. The sentence-the dread sentence of death -was the last of distinct accentuation which reached my ears. I WAS sick-sick unto death with that long agony and when they at length unbound me, and I was permitted to sit, I felt that my senses were leaving me. Sospite nunc patria, fracto nunc funeris antro, Mors ubi dira fuit vita salusque patent.
