The true queen by zen cho5/22/2023 ![]() I suppose the great benefit of struggling so hard with The True Queen was that I came out with a stronger sense of what I want to be doing as a writer, the sort of story I want to tell. You learn new things with everything you write. I do think the process changed me as a writer, but in a way, every project changes you as a writer. Could you tell us whether or not you think this process changed you as a writer? Sorcerer has all of these things, plus magic and dragons! In a recent blog post, you talk candidly about the journey of writing your second book and some of the struggles you went through when you had to rewrite the manuscript. With Sorcerer I drew inspiration from Georgette Heyer, who wrote these great, frothy Regency romances with balls and banter and pretty frocks. I love books both by authors of the period like Jane Austen and by authors looking back on it, like Patrick O’Brian, Susanna Clarke and Naomi Novik. I just really enjoy the Regency era in literature. ![]() What made you decide to write a historical fantasy, and why set it during this specific era? Your first book, Sorcerer to the Crown, is set during Regency England. In my copious free time when I’m not writing, I work part-time as a corporate lawyer. Tell us something about yourself that readers might not know? ![]() ![]() Thanks for agreeing to this Q&A! Most readers will know you as the author of Sorcerer to the Crown and, recently, The True Queen, which came out in March 2019. ![]()
