The Love of a Viking I’m a longtime history geek. I was homeschooled in high school and after my main work was finished I spent a lot of time reading classic novels like the unabridged Count of Monte Cristo, Jane Austen, and the works of Bronte sisters or researching and writing extra papers on historical figures and times; Queen Elizabeth I, Eleanor of Aquitaine, Sargon of Akkad (in tribute to The Scorpion King film), and the role of Viking women…
What woman doesn’t long for her knight to come sweep her off her feet, to rescue her, to claim her? What woman doesn’t want to be taken into the strong arms of a man with honor, strong enough to kill, but tender enough to cherish and adore? I know, I have a yearned for my knight to come since I was a little girl after reading fairytales. Although I write mostly contemporary stories and novels now, my first love is historicals, specifically,…
Iron Age Kink “Keeper of the Keys” was inspired by wondering what kind of kink would have been likely in Briton England. Forget butt plugs and handcuffs, what I thought about was how a woman with that much responsibility would experience sex and desire. She feels she carries the weight of the world on her shoulders, or on her belt in this case, and I imagine the need to be relieved of that would be enormous. Isn’t some kind of relief…
“Pleasure in Surrender” isn’t my first foray into a story with a historical setting. But it is the first “pure” historical I’ve written. In Jacq’s Warlord, my sister Myla Jackson and I wrote about a woman who time-traveled back to medieval England. Rufus, our hero, was very much a man of his time. Dealing with Jacq called for a little license—we couldn’t allow poor Rufus to beat her for her many infractions. And she did need to lead a castle defense…

Great post, Regina! (See two blogs down!) I share your love of history. In fact, when I’m not crafting torrid love scenes for my current short story or novel, I’m digging around in the county archives, piecing together yet another glimpse into local history. The glory of writing historical romance is that no matter what’s been lost in the passage of time, authors get to invent the missing pages. Mix one part historical fact and one part passionate characters, and alchemy…
This past year, I’ve become enamored of Pinterest. Don’t know what it is? It’s a website where you can post pictures of things that interest you, hence the name: Pinterest. You can set up boards with certain themes. You can follow other people’s boards. If people find your board interesting, they will follow you. Right now, I have over 9,300 followers. It’s crazy, right? It’s crazy fun! I’ve started a board for Hot Highlanders and Wild Warriors. The authors who wrote…
