I love reading historical romance novels, so I've been inspired by a lot of different authors. Some of the editors who read my first manuscripts were positive about my voice so I've never thought about it much, and just tried to write a story I'd like to read. Thank you for the question! Happy reading! Liz

By reading history and by listening to experts talk about their interests. If I tour anything historical, I almost always want to base a story there.

I opened a non-fiction book in a bookstore, and was surprised by the content. I shut it immediately, but then I thought, "What if..." I went home and immediately began writing. That's how the character of Andrew, the hero, ended up with a scar on his chest. His meeting with Beatrice followed easily because he had to deal with that scar.
