Holly, I will read these slowly. But meanwhile, I have a request - I'm teaching a class - In the Trenches with Historical Fiction at a big-deal conference in Denver in June. I'd love to quote you, with attribution of course, beginning with "Each novel, though new..." through to "useful entry point for the gently interested." That is an exact description of what I'd like the class to understand about HistFic.
I also really do want to interview you about your upcoming book (it is right up my street!), perhaps to coincide with its publication. Would you be happy for me to send you across some questions?

Please do! The conference sounds so exciting.

Oh, that would be great! It pubs in June, so we've got some time. Thanks so much for asking!! If you're interested, I could send you a chapter...
In class notes, I'll reference your substack and PhD studies. Anything else you want me to add?
I'd love a chapter! I'd be honoured. And I'll send you across some questions once I've had a little think.
Substack and PhD are pretty much what I'm focused on at the moment, so that would be great. Thanks!
I'd rather not attach the chapter here. And I don't know how to DM you. Can you DM me your email address? This is exciting...
Yes, of course! I’ll DM you.
got it!
