Visualizing historical fiction

November 7, 2004 General

During the five year period of research and writing of High Places, I searched archives at a Uganda museum/library and found old photos of 1920s Uganda, the period of the novel. These photos, such as this photo of a British ferry boat on Lake Victoria, helped me visualize and more accurately and vividuly describe Uganda in those days when the railway was being built and the British and Germans were engaging in battles on the lake.

Greg R Taylor

I am a home builder in Northeastern Oklahoma and president of 1256Movement.org. Proceeds from my latest book published in 2023, Prodigals, benefit this nonprofit dedicated to reparations of racial trauma in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Taylor is author of several books, including a coauthored work with Randy Harris titled Living Jesus. He and his wife, Jill, have three adult children, Ashley, Anna, and Jacob, for whom Prodigals is dedicated. I’ve been a writer for 30 years, a professional writer and editor for most of those years. No matter what other jobs I’ve done, I’ve continued to write. I’m the author, co-author, editor, or ghostwriter of many books you can see here. You’ll find a lot of topics I’ve written about listed and I've tried to categorize them so there should be bread crumbs for you to follow your interests. I’m 2024, I’ll celebrate 20 years of blogging. You can also find lots of free articles I’ve published in various magazines if you search my name at Christianity Today, Sojourners, and Wineskins. I wrote many book reviews for Publishers Weekly some years back but most of the reviews are not named reviews for sake of objectivity.
