I love the late Victorian period but prefer setting it in unusual locales (i.e. I’m preparing for a trip to Scotland to research a late Victorian book. I’m so thankful when I think the hardwork paid off and of course, letters like yours let me know that it did. I asked Connie, whose last book, As You Desire, was much lighter in tone than All Through the Night, about doing such a different type of romance this time around, of using some meaty background for her story, and of writing an ending that fit the tone of the book.Īll Through the Night was definitely a different book for me, especially on the heels of As You Desire, but after Harry and Dizzy I needed to do a couple with some real issues and I worked hard to make those characters as gutsy, complex and honest as I could. After having read probably 100 such historicals, I realized only a handful actually made use of the unrest and turmoil of England toward the end of this period. Particularly enjoyable was Connie’s use in this regency-era historical of the political and economic context of the time. I recently had the chance to read All Through the Night by Connie Brockway and found it to be both riveting and gripping.
