Nicola here. Today it is my very great pleasure to welcome Melinda Hammond back to the Word Wench blog. Today, however, we are chatting about her haunting timeslip novel Moonshadows, set in the Georgian period and the present day, originally published by Samhain and now re issued by Melinda herself.

I first read Moonshadows a number of years ago and found it a thought provoking read as well as a beautiful mix of the past and the present. In the interview below, Melinda mentions why she feels the story takes a different slant on the idea of the 18th century rake. The conflict at the heart of the story is strong and heartbreaking and (no spoilers!) tells of the ultimate price of getting what you wish for

Mystery Wench Quiz: (and no, that not her below, it Greta Garbo in The Mysterious Lady)

by Mary Jo

Hi, there! Today we are lucky enough to welcome Karen Harper as a return guest. Karen has been writing even longer that I have , and she known for her versatility and superb research. She started out with historical romance and has since branched out into main stream historical, romantic thrillers (including contemporary Amish suspense), and historical mysteries. She isa winner of the Mary Higgins Clark award.

He most certainly was right on about the heroine of The Royal Nanny, Charlotte Bill, the Cockney woman who raised the children of King George V and Queen Mary, the current queen's grandparents.

Two of those six children became kings, and in a way, Charlotte, or 'Lala' as the children dubbed her, saved both of these boys. When she arrived in the royal household of the then Duke and Duchess of York, David (later King Edward VIII and Duke of Windsor) and Bertie (later King George VI) were being abused by their current nanny, who was later committed to an asylum. (Remember The King's Speech flashbacks where Bertie was ignored and starved? And why did the Duke of Windsor gravitate toward abusive, take charge women, including his beloved Wallis?)

Anne here, with Susanna Kearsley and dropping by celebrate our 10th anniversary with us. They also representative of international wenchdom, as Pam is from the UK and Susanna from Canada.

It's a thing about writing: so much of it needs to be done on your own in a room by yourself, shut away from distractions, that it would be easy to feel disconnectedif we didn't have this amazing community.

The first time I best replica cartier love bracelet reviews took my elder son to FanExpo here in in Toronto, he looked across the lines of people standing in their cosplay costumes waiting to get in, and said, "My people!" And I knew exactly how he felt. When I don't have to explain why I'd rather shut myself away with a pile of 18th century newspapers and a big pot of coffee than go to the mall. When I can say I've just surfaced from being in another time, and people understand. It's a wonderful feeling, to be understood.

It's in places like this one, with hosts like the Word Wenches, that we're all able to find one another. We cheer each other, teach each other, share our craft and learn in equal measure; and, as evidenced by this past week, we give each other comfort.

Back when I was gifted with my Honorary Word Wench title, on September 23 of 2009, this group was a mere three years old, and I only knew Nicola. then cartier fake mens ring diamond I've met nearly all of the Wenches, and from sharing an event with Joanna to sharing drinks and laughter with Anne, to having her and Mary Jo come and stand at my shoulder when I won my RITA, the Word Wenches really and truly are "My people". (Susanna first interview with the wenches is here.)

May they continue another ten years, and beyond that.

Susanna Kearsley

Susanna most recent publication is A Desperate Fortune Her website is here.

And now, here Hartshorne:

It is a great honour to be an Honorary Word Wench, especially when I spent so many years writing strictly contemporary romances for Mills Boon as Jessica Hart. But I have always been fascinated by the relationship between the past and the present, and in fact started writing to fund a PhD in medieval history (although I ended up as an early modernist) so my historical leanings have always been there.

Throughout the (very) many years it took me to complete that PhD, the question I was asked most often after 'Have you ever thought about writing a real book?', of course was whether I was going to use my research to write a historical romance. My answer was always 'no': I fretted about authenticity and how I could possibly get modern readers to identify with characters who thought and spoke and acted so differently in the past.
