Claudia H. Long has written in a wide range of genres. She first wrote historical fiction, beginning with Josefina's Sin. Following Josefina's Sin, Claudia wrote The Duel for Consuelo, featuring the Secret Jews of Mexico, and Chains of Silver, set in the silver mining city of Zacatecas in 1753.
Turning her attention to family history, her next book, Nine Tenths of the Law, was published by Kasva Press.

I know it's strange, but walking loosens any barriers to creative thinking for me. It also helps me solve any personal or business problem I'm wrestling with. I don't necessarily think actively about the problem or the story while walking, I just walk. And the solution presents itself!(less)

His humble, bumbling brilliance and her cool-on-the-outside passion seemed so romantic to me as a teen, and now decades later I can really appreciate the complexity of their relationship. And I think I've always had a crush on Lord Peter! (less)

The Duel for Consuelo by Claudia H. Long

Wow! What a day! My new book, The Duel for Consuelo is up, live and ready to buy. I have been all over the Internet announcing it, and getting the good wishes from so many people it's overwhelming.

Actually, you can check it out here on Goodreads (link above I hope!) and thank goodness for that! But what's been fascinating is the wonderful commentary on the topic.

What a book. The writing is smooth and unostentatious, while packing a granite-block of emotion into every passage. It’s a love story, of course. But not a romance. It’s the love of a war-orphaned, blacklisted screenwriter for his

I wish this book were twice as long

It’s always great to be back with Peter and the Nightingale, and Abigail has grown into a fine young wizard. Selfies, mermaids, a wyvern, the cold, cold NorthSea…another masterpiece.

Erin I loved your book ! It was the perfect blend of history, romance, and suspense. It has something for everyone . I will be first in line to buy your next book. That is, I hope you will write another and I hope you continue to take chances no matter who you risk offending.
