Writing Confessions
While on a writing break in 2006, I read Katie Hickman's book Courtesans and became fascinated by the story of Elizabeth Armistead. Eager to learn more about this extraordinary woman, I tracked down a copy of I.M. Davis's biography, The Harlot and the Statesman but still it wasn't enough. The story was so big and colorful, I felt it needed to be told in a fictional narrative. Over the next year, I gave free rein to my research addiction, reading up on the Georgian era and delving into the background of the players in Mrs. Armistead's story. As I wrote the book, I came to admire and sympathize with Elizabeth Armistead. I also fell in love with the two most important men in her life, Richard Fitzpatrick and Charles James Fox. When finding a traditional publisher for the book proved difficult, I decided to try publishing it independently. The rest is...history! Confessions of a Courtesan became a #1 Kindle bestseller in both Historical Fiction and Historical Romance.
