Historical Happy Hour
Jane Healey is the bestselling author of several books of historical fiction and the host of Historical Happy Hour, a live interview and podcast featuring premiere historical fiction authors and their latest novels. “One of my favorite things as a writer is to talk to other writers. That’s why I am so excited to launch this series, Historical Happy Hour. Each month, I will interview a historical fiction author with a brand new book coming out. We’ll talk all about their latest novel but also discuss their writing process and research, and their life beyond being an author.”
