Writing Authentic Historical Fiction with S. J. Butler

S. J. Butler was born in London, England, and grew up writing poetry in the Essex countryside. After graduating from university in her fifties, her dream was always to become a published author. A Very British Disaster which is historical fiction based on a true story during the very first Anglo-Afghan war in 1838 is the realisation of that dream.
