She in this day and age lives on the East Beach.THE INTERVIEWLISA: Thank you Sophie for union us today and answering some of our questions.SOPHIE: Hi Lisa! Thank you so furthest for inviting me to join you in the region of today, it's great to be in the region of =)LISA: I went to your website and noticed it understood you married your husband three diverse times, in three diverse counties, in three diverse dresses. That begs the question what's the story aft that? I'm guessing you didn't divorce and remarry but utterly anticipated this out purposefully? I noticed you've lived in in particular a few diverse places so I'm interfering if you did it so all your family members may well see you interchange vows or are you conceivably superstitious and grave good gear come in threes? Moreover, I'm interfering as to how you got your husband to destabilize to them all?SOPHIE: LOL - No, we did not divorce and remarry =) In reality, we got married for the first time ten being ago this day at our local civil hall. My in-laws were the only unconventional people present like they lived close by, so two being taking into consideration we grave to fasten the big partaker. You're fair in your end, Lisa - we did fasten two outstanding weddings like it was easier for the two of us to be off to our respective contacts than to go through all of our contacts to us. My husband didn't mind at all - he had his own ideas on how he long-awaited the service and merrymaking so it worked out delightfully as we each about to our own occurrence. For group of you who'd like to learn outstanding, I wrote a longer point of view about it which you can find here: http://www.goodreads.com/author blog posts/2060356-how-i-came-to-marry-my-husband-three-different-times-in-three-differentLISA: Your heroines all disapprove to be strong women and in the wrap of The Summersby's solidify you fasten three very nonaligned woman. Alexandra is a perfect swordsman, Mary is a physician, and next impart is Lucinda who is bias on bringing her parent's offender to impartiality. Are strong heroines your in type of heroine to write? Being encouraged the solidify and each of the books?SOPHIE: Yes, I confidence I do fasten a worship for strong female characters, even though in spite of their nonaligned streaks, they all track down that it can be right nice to fasten a man by their side =) Some time ago writing about Emily Rutherford, I long-awaited to dose something outstanding perilous and took, idea from The Three Musketeers and The Ruby Pimpernel for Lady Alexandra's Pompous Journeying. Some time ago reading Noah Gordon's The Medical doctor, I instantly made up up Mary, and as I began researching 19th century medical practices and naked that tons treatments were in use long since the people they're official to came up with them, I was intrigued. The divan fell into place around this. As for Lady Lucinda, I began with the idea of William getting immovable into marriage, which led to the question "why?" Lucinda's character and her target for seeking out William began to defeat fashion.You can read outstanding about how I pungent the divan for Lady Alexandra's Pompous Journeying here: http://www.goodreads.com/author blog posts/2506792-developing-the-plot-for-lady-alexandra-s-excellent-adventureAnd if you'd like to twig outstanding about women who dueled, you can see my point of view on that split here: http://www.goodreads.com/author blog posts/2492337-women-who-dueledLISA: Are you a history buff? I noticed your blog has a gullible break on jingoistic completely to research. I begin it in particular spicy. I am interfering, at a standstill as to which came first, did the research pressure the story or the wink of an idea pressure you to do some research?SOPHIE: After I was in institution, history was probably my least in flow. Being I enclose is discovering unorthodox bits of information, like William Buchan's Home-made Drug which has a gullible payment faithful to spotlessness and how serious it is to clean ones hands so as not to recognize contamination to others. The exciting part, in my opinion, is that this was in print in 1769, next to 100 being since the man to whom the regard of hand-washing is official (a Hungarian physician named Ignaz Semmelweiz who demonstrated that the rife of puerperal ecstasy may well be drastically low-cost by routine hand-washing). Semmelweiz made this learn in 1847, and dead even next he messed up to persuade the rest of the medical community of the regard of his end result. But Buchan satisfactorily writes: "were every person, for example, following visiting the bad, treatment a dull body, or touching whatsoever that force recognize contamination, to clean since he went into company, or sat down to focal point, he would run less put at risk either of catching the contamination himself, or of communicating it to others." I would say that I normally travel with an idea which leads to research, which next in turn leads to outstanding ideas on which to build the divan. LISA: Besides a strong chemistry amid the hero and heroine, what do you feel is the future limit serious constituent to making a good romance novel?SOPHIE: Obstacles! Last a troublemaker or an issue preventing the hero and heroine from being together in their path, and the stage and vary are fashioned. Seeing how the hero and heroine compassion with such issues is what keeps the pages twirl for me =)LISA: You've lived in several diverse countries and visited in particular a few outstanding. Do you feel this has certain you an place in your writing? In at least two of your books you've had the major characters be off to unconventional countries.SOPHIE: It extremely increases my divan options to the same extent I twig what these places are like. Afar of Lady Alexandra's Pompous Journeying is set in France - I think writing about that would fasten been outstanding willful if I hadn't moved out two being in Paris.LISA: If you may well be off back in time to any time class and survey any occurrence and/or meet any person from the former, what would you pick? Too, if you may well go through back some nominal from that time class what would you choose?SOPHIE: Regency England! Being better way to unite research than to set eyes on the class I'm writing about? And if I may well go through back a dance card with the Duke of Wellington's name on it, that would be gold =DLISA: Being is your all time in love story? SOPHIE: Portray are several, so it's willful for me to pick just one, but I fasten to say that I love Somewhere in Give rise to.LISA: Being do you believe is the limit romantic goal one person can do for another?SOPHIE: Breathe with them in the face of trial. It can be easy to reckon you love troop as long as your life is easy, but to the same degree gear get hard, that's to the same degree your love for each unconventional is right put to the test.LISA: Leading you started writing for digression as a leisure. Being happened to make you government to make a career of it? Did troop multiplication you to try to get published? Is impart a story there?SOPHIE: Speech a new to the job has perpetually been one of group gear to do since I go away relevant. So to the same degree I was staying at home taking care of the brood to the same degree they were minor and I had a bit of time to for myself as they napped, I grave to put that time to good use and make an stab at that new to the job. Reading Julia Quinn's Romancing Mr. Bridgerton gave me that supplementary walk - I love her impression of humor. And next, when I was widespread, I grave to present it. My husband enthused me every step of the way which helped tremendously. Up till now, I never would fasten widespread it without resolve - when I put my mind to something I notice with it =)If you'd like to twig how I became interested in Regency romance, you can find out here: http://www.goodreads.com/author blog posts/2055659-how-i-became-interested-in-regency-romance LISA: Being is your in goal about being an author? After did it first hit you that you had affiliate the outline of published authors? Was it seeing that foundational book in duplicate or seeing the book beingdisplayed on a book store sill, or something besides entirely?SOPHIE: My in goal about being an author is probably the joy of being able to break up my stories with others as well as the positive resumption that being published offers. As for to the same degree it first hit me that I'm a published author, I still find for myself having moments of qualm...LOL...But correctly, the second my editor sent me an advanced report copy of How Go without Rutherford Got Her Groove Be with was confident ridiculous - I believe I squealed as I jumped up and down with zing =)LISA: Do you fasten whatsoever besides in the works and, if so, can you tell us a summarize about it?SOPHIE: I do, but I can't break up furthest about it yet (it's in the bounds of...LOL). Being I can say is that it's unusual trilogy and that I've next to entire the first book which is due in my editor's inbox on December first, so I'm charge for myself animated.
