Welcome!

Welcome to my blog at catesimon.com!

I’ll be sharing background and images from the historical era in which I write – the second half of the nineteenth century, for the most part. And I’ll be telling you about books which I’ve enjoyed – fiction and nonfiction – on related subjects.

I’ll also be talking with writers, in my area and in a wide range of others, whose work I enjoy and sometimes who I’m lucky enough to know in real life.
