Medieval History

Writing a romance that is set in the Middle Ages takes quite a bit of research, as does writing a contemporary paranormal that features characters born in the Middle Ages. Below is a list of some of the books that proved to be very helpful to me.

Natural Healing

The heroine in my medieval romance A Sorceress of His Own is a wisewoman who, along with other gifts, was born with the ability to heal others with a touch of her hands, though not without cost to herself. To reduce that cost, she often employs the use of herbs as well, which required additional research. I am also personally interested in natural remedies and natural healing and have found the books listed below to be good sources of information. I will list some websites, too.
