646. Swashbuckling and Historical Romance Classics with Elizabeth Hoyt

My guest this week is Elizabeth Hoyt!! This episode was SO MUCH FUN to record and produce and I am so excited to share it with you.We talk about her latest book, No Ordinary Duchess, writer’s block, emotionally constipated heroes, and the special place for sunshiny heroines. Plus we talk about how genres have changed in popularity over the course of her career.

Side trips include the magic of writing about people who slowly reveal themselves to one another, K dramas, and a tour through some Georgian social history.

But the best part: she takes us through her favorite classic historical romances. I could not have been more delighted and I hope you enjoy it, too.
