Having just published a novel set in the 18th century, myself, I'm keenly interested in other writers of historical fiction, especially those who research and write about 18th c. England. I would love to read this book!Lynettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11179278237988549530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-27975736825135895022010-04-08T21:42:50.029-04:002010-04-08T21:42:50.029-04:00Love that you did all that research on thorougbred...Love that you did all that research on thorougbred horses.

It's obvious how very meticulous you were discovering information about past horse races and real life historical figures. I find it's quite easy to get side-tracked while researching for my novels because every gleam of new historical facts leads to another story idea or plot point, which can be a huge time killer. I look forward to reading The Highest Stakes.<br /><br />AngelaAngela Johnsonhttp://angelajohnsonauthor.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-65909562115316509142010-04-07T21:07:51.051-04:002010-04-07T21:07:51.051-04:00I enjoy this time period very much.

I remember doing research for a non-fiction project that required reading the personal letters of a Civil War soldier who went on to become governor of one of the Western Territories. At the time the letter was written, he was a young man, planning to go home on leave for Christmas. The letter was to a friend, another soldier, and, written in the 1860's, it could have been written in the 1960's. 'Racey,' would be the polite word. Hearing his voice in that letter did more to bring him alive than anything else I read. There is nothing like getting a glimpse into someone else's world.Emmahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09452517544328588301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-56865686596945695852010-04-07T19:15:42.786-04:002010-04-07T19:15:42.786-04:00Emory, Thanks for the interesting interview.

Thanks for stopping by to chat with Eliza and us. Also, Thanks for the great giveaway.

I recently read a historical romance that revealed a great deal about the 19th century opium trade. I was fascinated how she worked this into the story. <br /><br />My only problem with my own research is that I tend to venture down so many "rabbit trails" that I sometimes forget what I was looking for to begin with!<br /> <br /><br />Hi Colleen-<br />Art and music help to define the culture of the time. It helped me to feel a part of the period that I sought to recreate first in my own mind and then on the page. I highly recomment the experience!<br /><br />Thank you both for your interest in THE HIGHEST STAKES and I sincerely hope you<br />"enjoy the ride."<br /><br />Best Regards - Emery LeeEmery Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06691196990626647667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-61938147621618297992010-04-07T14:59:52.350-04:002010-04-07T14:59:52.350-04:00I love that you sought out art and music from your...I love that you sought out art and music from your time period as part of your research - I might steal that idea :) <br /><br />Best of luck with this release! <br /><br />Colleen M :)Colleen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06199068010156140726noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6861175623849452396.post-74214305636974526052010-04-07T07:40:57.519-04:002010-04-07T07:40:57.519-04:00The book sounds fascinating.

In the 70's he trained a horse that I believe won some category in the Olympics. In fact, one person commented that if there truly was a horse whisperer, it was him. <br /><br />I impressed with the amount of research you did and I look forward to your book. I write Paranormal Romance but I love to read romance and mysteries of all kinds.Anita Clenneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08121439834252671730noreply@blogger.com
