Donna Hatch shares some interesting Regency facts. A fact of my own, learned from my English Uncle and Aunt: The prudishness of the Victorian era were not instigated by Victoria but by Albert. Funnily enough, they're quite proud of it and delighted in Victoria's less prudish ways. Things changed after Albert's passing.

Sheree Crawford, over at The Writer's Path, offers some good tips on "Historical Research for Writers." In writing A Promise of Possibilities, the year was 1816. The previous year, there had been a volcanic eruption that changed the weather in England, and 1816 was known as "the year without summer."

Donna Hatch shared a blog post on "The King's Theatre, London." Friends took me to see "Les Miserable," the newest sensation to hit the stage and still unheard of in America. Powerful. I returned home unable to find anything. Then a Kennedy Center special featured their pick for the upcoming musical of the year. Colm Wilkinson sang "Bring Him Home." I still cry, even at the thought.
