Bestselling, Australian
author Heather Boyd spends her days (and spare hours of the night) conjuring
up new ways to get her characters into mischief. She writes sizzling Regency historical
romances, publishing over twenty novels and shorter works. Learn more about
Heather at her website. Today she sits down with us for an interview.
Tell us about yourself.
Greetings. I’m Heather Boyd,
a regency historical romance author, indie published, and sole female in a
testosterone fueled household. (Even the cat is male.) I love old books, old
furniture and houses and research -- Regency era, of course.
Do you have any phobias?
Spiders and snakes, which is
stupid considering I live in Australia where you can’t step out your front door
without being attacked by one. Just kidding. They wait until the second step.
Which mythological creature are you most like?
I wasn’t sure what to say
for this but my eldest son just shouted out, “Dragon.” I’m concerned. No one
disagreed with him.
What is the story of your first kiss?
Married twenty-two years, two
kids, and I’ve never been kissed. OK, I can see you’re not buying that one. I
also think writing sizzling Regency romance might have also been a bit of a giveaway
that I’m not that innocent. OK, here we go…. Back in the mists of time I adored this amazing boy, and I fell head
over heels. We were only ten but I just knew he was the one…so, dear reader, I ended up married to him.
True story.
What inspires you to write?
The better question would be
what doesn’t. I’m very lucky so far. Story ideas are plentiful (and equally
distracting.) I had a new one over the weekend, actually, when I should have
been taking a writing break. That’s sort of how it goes for me. I stop working
and a new idea springs up. Since I’ve already got several stories on the go
now, it’s going into the “when I have time” folder.
Keepsake
I’ve got a story to tell you… The Marquess of Taverham
married young and fast with his eye firmly on his bride’s dowry as the means to
repair the family fortunes for the next generation. Too late he discovered his
new wife wasn’t going to make achieving all of his dreams that easy.
What happens when the bride comes back in Keepsake,
Book 5 in the Distinguished Rogues series?

Enjoyed the interview, Heather. "Marquess of Taverham" -- I like that title! Best wishes with your book.
Thanks so much Angela
