Friday's Guest - Judith Merkle Riley

Judith MeWaterdevil_1rkle Riley will be interviewed this coming Friday by Mary Jo.  Judith writes books that have a lot of history, humor, and mysticism.  She has a rabid fan base (including the Wenches!) and we're all thrilled that some of her older books are being reprinted.  In fact, Crown will be putting out her three Margaret of Ashbury books this year.  Put a yellow sticky on your computer reminding you to drop by this Friday while we visit with Judith!

Historical vs Contemporary Since my latest contemporary SWEET HOME CAROLINA, hit the stands while I was on vacation, I’ve been asked to write about the differences in writing contemporary and historical romance. I’m not entirely certain anyone has an interest in the topic, but I thought I ought to at least think about it for about five seconds. The first thing that jumps out, of course, is the research. I have books stacked all around my desk and lined up on bookshelves nearby ready to be grabbed while I’m writing my historicals. Admittedly, I still have to do a lot of Googling since...
