Corsets and Coaches will be about all thing Regency: fashion, food, history, culture, myths and unexpected truths, great books—and it will sometimes be about my own writing in the genre of Regency romance.
Why?
A couple of years ago, during lockdown, a friend of mine (Ebony McKenna aka Ebony Oaten) told me about an anthology of Regency romance novellas she was putting together.
‘You read Regencies, don’t you? Write one! It’ll be fun!’
Well, I do read Regencies—in fact, when I was 10 and had read all (yes, all) the novels in the children’s section of my local library, The Librarian, Blessed-Be-Her-Name Mrs Ward, allowed me to ‘go up’ to the adult section and choose books from there. But she checked the books to make sure they weren’t rude or too violent. She handed me a Georgette Heyer. ‘Here, you’ll probably like this.’
And indeed I did, Dear Reader.
