I didn’t know about competitions, or the RNA, or agents, or writers’ groups none of it. I had no idea about the publishing industry. When did you get your first break into publishing? Those initial jottings became Waltzing with the Earl, my first novel. Unlike Sophy though, she was introverted, and her new relatives were less than welcoming. Like Sophy, she was moving to relatives in London having been raised abroad by an easygoing father. My very first idea was of a character that was like The Grand Sophy, but different. I don’t claim to have even a smidgen of her wit, but it was her books that made me fall in love with the whole world of Regency Romance. It was probably when I realised that Georgette Heyer should have written at least another hundred books, and I started to play around with story ideas. When did a love of books turn into a desire to actually write them? Welcome, Catherine, and huge congratulations on winning the RNA’s 2021 Goldsboro Books Historical Romantic Novel Award!
