Thanks for letting me visit, Shelley! I've had a great time on your fabulous site. Once again, my DH has picked the winner. (This is a secret process involving complex algorhythms and probabilties. Can you tell he's both a math major and a fan of NUMBERS?) And the winner is . . . SARA HURT. Please contact me through to send me your mailing information. Today I'm blogging with Colleen Thompson and Joni Rodgers at Boxing the Octopus. The theme of this terrific blog is the "many-tentacled beast that is the writing life." I blog about what happens when an author's ability to write is 'interrupted.' I'm having a ball on my blog tour. Come on over and join the party! Be sure to leave a comment for your chance to win a VEXING THE VISCOUNT! I'm giving a shiny new copy away every day!

Peggy Q–The hardest part about writing historicals is not getting the costumes right. It’s not even making sure modern sounding slang doesn’t creep into the dialogue.

It’s getting into the heads of people who were motivated by a different world view from me. It’s understanding what it was like for women whose options were severely limited by our standards. Maybe I’ll blog about that in one of my coming stops.

OMG I almost missed this blog. I cannot be a successfull stalker if that would have happened. I love this post, I absolutely adore the historical periods. It is like an addiction when I read books in the time frame. I love to picture all the beautiful clothing and the dancing, I dont relish the thought of chamber pots and once a week bathing but hey you have to take the good with the bad. Wtg and i really hope you DH draws me this time. :)

Hi Emily – I’m enjoying all the 18th Century info today. It’s one of my favorite historical time periods to read. I don’t think there are nearly enough books set during this time period.

I’m looking forward to reading about Daisy and learning exactly how much creeping around she did!

Sometimes I think I would have loved to have lived in the ages where women dressed so fancy. But then I have days like today where I l stayed in my soft comfy jammies, to focus on writing and think “now this is comfy!” Who needs all those clothes! Lots of laughs!
