One of my favorite historical authors is Erica Vetsch. Presently, she has written 43 books, and has more yet to be published. That's wonderful news for readers like me who read Christian historical romance.
Thank you, Lisa, for allowing me to post on your blog and interact with your readers! Lisa was a member the recent launch team for my latest release, A Scheming in Parliament. This is the second book in the Of Cloaks & Daggers series, and it is set in Regency England.
One question I get quite often is, "How do you research for your books set in England when you live in America?"
That's a great question, and for a while, my research was done by reading books, watching documentaries, and talking with fellow Regency writers. I have a fairly extensive Regency research library on a variety of topics such as clothing, medicine, architecture, social structures, politics, transportation, food, and more.
But one of my favorite ways to do research is in person. To see the countryside, the buildings, the weather, and more for the places where I set my books. I was blessed to be able to travel to England and spend about three weeks touring the country and soaking in all the things.
I did not go without a plan, however, and that's what I would like to share with you today. My research plan for my trip to England. There were several steps that went into making the best use of my time there.
First, I knew I would spend most of my time in the Peak District in the middle of England, because that's where my longtime friend lived, and her house was our home base. So, I didn't research London activities. London has been reserved for my next trip.
