Aloha to Historical Authors (part 1) - Getting Ready for the RT Booklovers Convention

My favorite genre is historical romance ... and I will be attending several panels with historical authors at the RT Booklovers Convention (link), including ....

HISTORICAL: Writing the Authentic Historical for the Modern Reader

Balancing the tastes and expectations of the modern reader while crafting historically accurate romances has never been more of a challenge. Join these panelists for a frank chat about what to leave out, when to bend the facts and which rules — if any — are inviolable. Learn the secrets successful historical authors employ to craft historical romances that appeal to the reader in 2015 and beyond.
