A bunch of fellow historical romance writers and I have banded together and started a new blog: History Hoydens. As writers of historical fiction we do a lot of research. Very little of this research actually ends up on the pages of our novels, though. Which seems a waste. Readers also frequently email us, questioning the accuracy of something, inquiring about a source, or just wanting to know more. This is the place for us to offer that “more”. We have a great bunch of Hoydens here who write romances in a wide variety of settings (they’ll introduce themselves with their first posts). Please join us as we explore the eras we love and discuss the research that obsesses us.
FIRST INTERVIEW. FIRST PODCAST.
The interview I did with the wonderful Jana Oliver of the Fancy Dress Albert Public House is now available in her archives (it's show #4). Jana’s obsession is all things Victorian, while mine is all things Georgian, but we found plenty to blab about, ranging from Medieval underpants (or the lack there of) to things like the price of a gown by Worth and what working women would have worn during the Victorian era.
Please link over and download the interview. I guarantee you won't be bored.
