I have blogged about how I believe in directed research rather than general research so I don’t fall down a rabbit hole of information. If you are curious to see how much research I do for a novel, today I will post my Google (and yes I do mean Google) Searches I did for The Grove and tomorrow I will post the bibliography.

As you can see some of the searches are for specific or general facts for the book, others are me trying to figure out what genre the novel actually falls under. Of course, some facts were found and then deleted such as the Yiddish words for Old Woman.
Writers, what have been some of your search topics?
If these topics excite your reading buds, consider checking out The Grove on E-book or Paperback.
