Research is Tough

I finished another chapter of Renaissance last evening. My kids will be so happy as they have been begging for more after I read them the prologue and chapter one several months ago. I am having my trials with it as I am doing research at the same time as I am writing to prepare for further pages. The research I am doing is proving hard to find and the books are all on modern versions and not medieval historical versions. I have tried to enlist the help of an alchemy researcher and fellow author...we will see if he will help me out or not. I cross my fingers and hope he can unravel the mysteries and piece together the puzzle with all the little bits that I have from all the parts in all the books I have read. Perhaps I can finish one more chapter before my kids return home this week! They would be so surprised!
