I love historical romance novels. I’m partial to those set in the Elizabethan, Regency or Victorian eras, but when I’m in the bookstore, I’ll happily pick up and consider a historical novel from any period where the book has a pretty cover. More often than not, this pretty cover fixation of mine stems from the beautiful dress the heroine is wearing, assuming, of course, that the heroine is actually clothed on the cover.

I’ve never been able to shake this girlish fascination with princesses, balls, and fabulous gowns, and neither, I’m guessing, has Galen Hughes.

Hughes, in case you don’t know, is a Kensington/Zebra author, whose first novel, LORD SIN, debuts in April 2007. She’s also an expert on women’s historical clothing, so she can tell you everything you ever wanted to know about, say, corsets.

She’s stopped by to debunk a few myths for us, and she loves to hear from readers, so feel free to ask questions.

Here’s Hughes’ website: http://www.KalenHughes.com

And here’s a little more about Hughes at my other blog:
