Set in Victorian England…four seasonal love stories to warm the heart and nurture a romantic spirit. Years ago, when still single, I acted in and directed plays in the Philadelphia area but suffered the fate of many artists, struggling financially. So I entered a career in sales. But, my creative spirit needed to express itself and several years, ago, I started writing historical romances.

I discovered that writing historical romances is my passion. I love weaving historical personalities into my plot, interacting with my fictional characters. I am married to a loving and supportive man with a Greek heritage which influenced a couple of my novels and we live in southern New Jersey. See All Customer Reviews. Shop Books.

A Devilish Saint. England — Isabella St. I write HF myself--have done for years--and have written, spoken and pontificated generally a huge amount about the topic--even organised a conference. I have interviewed and got to know many well-known historical novelists of all kinds.

I can bore Britain, nay the World, about HF.

Bestselling crime and mystery author

I have also been much involved with The Historical Novel Society www. Although I have cut down my involvement because of my writing commitments, I am still a reviewer and member. There are as many different types of historical fiction as there are readers and writers. Barbara Erskine, for example, writes what is known as Time Slip. Within the HF genre there are very many sub-genres, each with its own prerequisites. So one cannot say, definitely what HF should or should not be.

There are hundreds of titles reviewed in each issue, including YA and children's historicals. You would be amazed at the variety on offer--and not self-pubbed either. They are not reviewed in the print magazine. In addition, its twice-yearly magazine, Solander, is a treasure house of features. To say that all HF is full of gadzookery is very heavy-handed. Most HF writers use their extensive research well and don't spill it all over the page. It should be like salt--essential for flavour but not overbearing.

I agree with everything you say, Nicola, but for further information, I would ask anyone to take a look at the society's website with a view to becoming a member.

Although many HF writers are members, its mainly aimed at readers. I thought The Heretic's Daughter was absolutely brilliant. Not a bit of it. And Jean Plaidy doesn't stand up so well in this day and age. I did so recently for research into an article. It's all a bit twee, although I adored her books when I first read them. This information is infinitely valuable. I'm currently working on my third draft of my first major Historical Fiction novel and have I made some major Faux Pas!

I wore a corset for a week -- (SPOILER ALERT: I didn't die)

Such a lot of good points! Thanks Nicola.

The king-with-two-heads bit really made me laugh. I have just finished reading The Observations by Jane Harris. I think the voice of the main character Bessy a teenage Victorian maid is brilliant in that. Re use of dialect - what really grates with me is when an author uses the wrong dialect. In some novels, for example, the whole of Scotland seems to be populated by Glaswegians. I haven't read much historical fiction although I am hoping that Georgette Heyer's regency novels count. I think they show a light touch with the details of the time although it is clear that her research was exhaustive , some factual spillover- the Prince Regent, Beau Brummell, and other historical luminaries make guest appearances in a few of the novels, and in my opinion just the right amount of period slang and in particular cant used by highwaymen and thieves to spice up the language.

It takes a short while to understand some of it but she cleverly puts it into context and there's a rhythm there which makes the unfamiliar words easy to decipher. Of course, Georgette Heyer's novels count! She was the mistress of Regency Romance--and has never been surpassed. Of course Heyer counts! That's partly because by then she was so steeped in the stuff that she didn't actually have to go and find out the basics: she knew them, as she knew her own basics.

With voice, the further back you go in history, the more you can't just try to reproduce what we know of how they spoke then. I write a mean pastiche 15th Century letter, but it would be unreadable for a whole novel. On the other hand, in The Mathematics of Love it wasn't so hard to pick up the cadences of early 19th century prose from both memoirs and fiction of the time. But even then, having read lots, I put it away and concentrated on hearing my narrator speak: analysis is all very well, but you have to find some kind of synthesis of the voices of 'now' and of 'then', and I think that's an instinctive process, not one of reasoning.
