Her research was so deep and detailed that she was even invited to lecture at the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst because the details in her book An Infamous Army were so exact. While most of her books are romances, An Infamous Army is more historical fiction as it centres on the Battle of Waterloo. If you've never read her before, I'd highly recommend Frederica as a starting point.Victoria Chathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064028734034371341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343519596287643773.post-67040471186183013522017-09-25T13:53:44.986-07:002017-09-25T13:53:44.986-07:00I have always heard of Georgette Heyer, but haven&...I have always heard of Georgette Heyer, but haven't read her. You have definitely piqued my interest. She'll be on my To Be Read list. You are right. Readers like "spunky" heroines.

It was quite enlightening. Since then, I've tried it myself and some of my characters I've really liked while I've learnt a lot about others.Victoria Chathamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02064028734034371341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343519596287643773.post-80733996626446387882017-09-25T08:39:53.107-07:002017-09-25T08:39:53.107-07:00Victoria, I liked your line about people liking ch...Victoria, I liked your line about people liking characters that reflected who they would like to be. :)Rachael Kosinskihttp://rachaelkosinski.weebly.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-343519596287643773.post-35327356566262607272017-09-24T17:17:44.316-07:002017-09-24T17:17:44.316-07:00It certainly is, Anne!

I see that you also, like me, had an intruding character who clamoured for a book.. It's such a great moment when a creation does that.
