I decided a long time ago I had no interest in writing a story involving time-travel.

So I woke up this morning with a time-travel/romance running through my head, that starts with a painting of a rural scene including barbed wire, by an artist who died in the 1850s.

...


(And another main character who is something of an expert on art. What has set off this trend?)

*grumbles about not wanting to write something historical*

The current novel I'm working on wrote itself in about 10 mins. I'd put the book I was reading, thought "If I was to write a book about a thief--" and *bang* there it was. Which is my problem. I want to finish this one, and I have another in the planning process (that I've been doing research for) that is threatening to take over at the WIP. I don't need three.

did they have barbed wire in the 1850's? or is that the point...

Yes :)

There was some playing with the idea in the 1860s and it was developed "properly" in about 1873 in the US. And how long after that before it came down south here, I have no idea.
