I have been asked many times how much research I do—how much I believe is necessary—for historical romance. I suppose the answer depends on whether you want to write a “wallpaper” historical romance, one that is generally set in an era with a few nods to what the clothes and setting look like, or a romance that genuinely reflects the history and people of the time, and is correct in historical details.
Since I write stories reflecting actual history, where the history itself is a character, I must do a lot of work to get it right. It takes hundreds of hours for each novel, especially if I’m starting from scratch in a particular era. To read more, see HERE.
