#I wanted to research history outside of the extremely Eurocentric teachings I’d had in school and then the special interest

I have to admit the research rabbit holes I’ve gone down since I got back into my southwestern historical fiction phase have been the most interesting. Right now I’m researching the history of textiles in Mexico and specifically the fashion history, materials and techniques of the state of Chihuahua and it’s awesome. I was getting sick and tired of writing things based in 18th and 19th century Britain. There is so much beauty and so many vibrant cultures and histories in this world and I love that there is always more to see and know. Also the historical rival natural dyes of Mexico are so beautiful.
