Reader Poll 20: Sabrina often includes real historical events, situations, and characters in her books—sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. How do you feel about that?

Sabrina often includes real historical events, situations, and characters in her books—sometimes a little, sometimes a lot. How do you feel about that?

I love it! It makes history come alive.

I like some of it, but not too much of the depressing or icky stuff like massacres and syphilis and madness. This is supposed to be entertainment!

I like just a flavoring of real history. It’s all about the romance for me, and real history takes away from the romance.

I don’t like it in other authors, but I enjoy it when Sabrina does it.

Regency Tidbit

Y’all may or may not be aware that I’ve gotten into birdwatching from all my time spent writing on my deck. (I’d be there now except it’s all torn up as my husband gets it ready for spring.) That’s why I decided to give that hobby to Eliza. Also, Regency folks liked birds, too (no big surprise). I took her birdhouse from one that was actually from the period. Well, close to the period, anyway—1846. I had a hard time finding images earlier than the Victorian age, but the word “bird-seed” dates back to the 1700’s, and Regency era books abound for “bird-fanciers,” which tell you how to feed, house, rear, etc. birds of all types. Pet birds also appear in stories from the period. So I think I’m safe in saying Regency folks liked them!
