If you've planned on setting your novel in the past, here's a website from timeanddate.com that could prove invaluable to you as it allows you to call up a calendar for any year.
You can also calculate the distance between any places in the world. I just discovered that from Bristol to Sunderland it's 392 kilometers or 244 miles or 212 nautical miles (should there be major flooding at the time).
Other fun stuff includes working out just when you'll be 1 billion seconds old.

About Me
- Maureen
- I'm an editor with Crooked Cat Books (I freelance too!) and author of Trace your Roots (Crooked Cat) and co-author of The Writer’s ABC Checklist (Accent Press). My work has appeared in newspapers, magazines and on the Web and I'm a past winner of The Writers’ Advice Centre for Children’s Books contest. I've tutored workshops, judged online writing contests and currently critique stories for a leading UK writers' mag. Oh, and I'm not nearly as solemn as I look in this picture.

That sounds really interesting, thanks.
Very interesting, Maureen. Thank you.
Thanks, both. I hope it'll prove useful to anyone writing a historic piece. :-)
