Over at Loaded Questions, I recently chatted with fellow academic and author interviewer Kelly Hewitt about the Pink books, grad school, and the upcoming Betrayal of the Blood Lily. (Kelly found a brilliant picture of a blood lily for illustration).
If you’re looking to wile away a slow Saturday, Kelly’s site includes interviews [...]

In a little over a week, I have to give a paper at the Popular Culture Association on the interplay of history and fiction. As I’ve been parsing the topic out (and managing to work myself into a muddle), I’ve posted on the topic today on both History Hoydens and Access Romance. On [...]
