I don't write historical fiction. I write paranormal historical erotic romance with shapeshifters, magic and time-travel. My stories are not like text books which teach people about history. My stories are for entertainment and escape. I do very thorough research, but the history and setting are the backdrop or stage, so to speak. Not the focus. Since I write romance, the characters and their relationship remains the focus.Nicole Northhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01535088964454920083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-90634306624572635852009-07-04T10:08:18.577-04:002009-07-04T10:08:18.577-04:00Yes, men in kilts are hot.

BUT<br /><br />It would be NICE if "historical fiction" had at least a hint of history in it and if people from Scotland weren't shown as total cliches.<br /><br />Just one person's opinion.J. R.

Just knowing they don't have anything on under that kilt... ;)Evangeline Collinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18367194375278264137noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-353479285769121899.post-30591186817865907172009-07-02T14:52:26.176-04:002009-07-02T14:52:26.176-04:00Thanks tons, Eliza!!

We get to imagine, and project, and keep all the fun stuff of the past, while losing all the negatives of the modern-day.<br /> And the brogue. Ahh, the brogue.<br /> :-)http://kriskennedy.nethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08341143449583496148noreply@blogger.com
