Hello to my wonderful blog followers and fellow history geeks!  Many of you have been following my posts for years and I thank you for that! I want this blog to be beneficial and entertaining, and to cover the topics that interest you, my loyal fans.

Since I’m a true history nerd–especially when it comes to British history in general and the Regency Era in particular–I love going down research rabbit holes and learning about things that I didn’t know that I didn’t know. Who knows what will pop up? It might even inspire a new story.

So tell me; what fun little aspect of the Regency world would you like to know? What questions sometimes come to you as you read Regency romance novels?

Leave me a comment with suggested future blog topics and I’ll see what I can do to fulfill your wish.

Here’s listening to you, kid!

 

Author of Historical Romance and Fantasy, award-winning author Donna Hatch is a sought-after speaker and workshop presenter. Her writing awards include the Golden Rose and the prestigious Golden Quill. Her passion for writing began at age 8 she wrote her first short story, and she wrote her first full-length novel during her sophomore year in high school, a fantasy which was later published. In between caring for six children, (7 counting her husband), her day job, her work as a freelance editor and copywriter, and her many volunteer positions, she still makes time to write. After all, writing IS an obsession. All of her heroes are patterned after her husband of over 20 years, who continues to prove that there really is a happily ever after.

2 Thoughts on “I’m Listening…”

  • I really liked reading about the bathing suits, so, more about clothing for different occasions and different classes during that era. Jobs among the household staff, villager jobs, how jobs in the village differed from those in the city… I really just love that era, so everything is fascinating!

  • I liked Christy Maurer’s comment exceedingly. I’d go with any of her suggestions.

    Whenever I read something with a time shift theme, or the question comes up of ‘would you like to go back to Jane Austen’s time?”, etc, I immediately think of hygiene. Yeah, I’m pretty high maintenance. But fripperies aside, just basic hygiene in the Regency grosses me out. Of course, all the books I’ve read have the hero and heroine having baths quite often, but in reality I don’t think that was the case. And okay, I have to ‘go there’ and mention that time of the month. So did women just stay home and claim ‘indisposed’ for 5 days or so? I’d never find the answer on my own, I’m so ADD when I look anything up on the internet.
