Today, I'm delighted to welcome highly acclaimed historical romance author, Maggi Andersen , on her book tour sharing her new novel, A Baron in her Bed . As a fellow Georgette Heyer fan, I asked her to chat about her influences in plotting Regency novels. Here goes... 'Unusual Regencies - How to plot a Regency novel that stands out' The Regency era offers so much for a writer. Historical events, larger than life historical characters, the ton and the Prince Regent’s sparkling, decadent court, and the Napoleonic Wars, all of which offer great material for any number of stories and fit well with popular tropes in romantic fiction – marriage of convenience, forced marriage, and friends become lovers etc. Many sub-genres adapt well to Regencies from historicals, like my sensual adventure romance, A Baron in Her Bed , to sweet stories inspired by Jane Austen, mysteries, crime novels, paranormals, young adult, fairy stories and even steampunk. What about alpha males?
I liked your interview on Emma Lai's Blog - I'm waiting for your next highlander's book ... and Anarchy book 2 .... so you know what you have to do !!! haha
