Author Nancy Blanton discusses her historical novels, including The Earl in Black Armor. Set in 17th century Ireland, they are tales of loyalty, honor, intrigue and betrayal set against the backdrop of the Stuart dynasty in England and the threat of English civil war. When Nancy began writing historical fiction, she searched for an ideal setting. Being of Irish descent, she studied her own family’s heritage and the history of Ireland, and she found the perfect place and time in which to set her stories.
