Writing, researching and reading must run in my veins and I am so glad that I joined the Historical Fiction Critique Group and through the owner, Anne Whitfield, submitted my novel to Enspiren Press which accepted Tangled Hearts. Every time I look at my debut novel a thrill runs through me. For months the hero and heroine, Chesney and Richelda, stayed by my side at the computer and while going about my daily business. Their life is so interesting that I suffered withdrawal pangs after I typed ‘The End'. Richelda and Chesney lived in England during the reign of the last of the Stuart monarch, Queen Anne, who ruled from 1702 - 1714. In common with the rest of the population Chesney and Richelda suffered fears and uncertainties about who would reign after the queen's death. The economic and political situation affected every aspect of my hero and heroine's lives. I fell in love with the period's elaborate clothes, stylish houses sumptuous food and the concept of honour and dishonour at that time.

I have now written a novel set in the same period called "Tangled Lives" which I hope Enspiren Press will publish. Being a historical novelist is amazing. It sweeps the author into another time and place with all the happiness and tears the characters experience. Authors want to share their tales with readers which leads to the challenge of how to publicise their books.

I live in England. When "Tangled Hearts" is available in my home county, I plan to promote them, in bookshops, libraries and elsewhere. In the old days Enspiren Press would have sent me on a book tour. Today, my commissioning editor, Anne Whitfield, and Enspiren Press have inspired me to blog. This enables me to keep in touch with old friends and new. Fingers crossed, 2008 will be a fantastic year during which I will network in person and on the worldwide web to let readers know about me and my work.

Published Historical Novel. "Tangled Hearts" available from www.enspirenpress.com, amazon.com, amazon.co.uk, batrnesandnoble.com and soon from bookshops. Website: www.rosemarymorris.co.uk.

About the Author

Every free moment I have is spent writing my romantic historical novels, researching them or reading widely to keep in touch with the type of books readers enjoy.

I've read voraciously since the age of five and have always had a particular interest in history, ancient and modern - both that of my own country, England and world history.

As I enjoy reading quality romantic historical novels, I decided to have fun creating strong characters and putting them in difficult situations. When I visualise them, they speak and act according to their time and circumstance but their dilemmas are universal.
