S1 E19—Reimagining the Regency Romance with Ava Bond

This month I’m joined by Indie historical romance author, Ava Bond. Ava has self published two series and currently has a series she’s releasing with DragonBlade publishing, Lyme Ladies!

We discuss the first book in the Lyme Ladies series, THE SCHOLAR’S SPY, and how it’s setting in Lyme Regis affects the storyline, as well as her upcoming novella, FALLING FOR THE DOWAGER, which is part of the A Match Made in Autumn series. Other topics we chat about include using unique settings and creating original characters in order to set your historicals apart, and our love of period drama, which may have informed why we and so many others have a fondness for the Regency Era.

You can learn more about Ava and her books on her website , and you can follow her on Instagram
