Q.What
were you in your life before you became a writer? Did this influence your
writing?
A.I
have always been a writer and an avid reader. My particular interest is
historical fiction and non-fiction, which inspires me to weave novels rich in
history.
Q
Are you genre specific or general? Why? I don't mean genres like romance,
mystery, fantasy etc. There are many subgenres of the above.
A,
I write romantic historical fiction, which is rich in historical detail,
drawing room manners, food, fashion, economic, political and social history and
much more.
Q.
Did your reading choices have anything to do with your choice of a genre or
genres?
A.
So many authors inspire me, amongst whom are Georgette Heyer’s historical
fiction. I have read her books so often that the pages are almost ragged. I
also enjoy Elizabeth Chadwick’s mediaeval novels and Elizabeth Goudge’s lyrical
prose, particularly Little White Horse, Island Magic and Green Dolphin Country.
My favourite classics such as Jane Eyre, Ivanhoe and Pride and Prejudice also
deserve a mention. Yet, however much I admire and have in one way or another been
influenced by these writers I have found my own voice. All of my novels have
themes that modern readers can understand. For example, greed in Tangled Love,
a woman previously misused by a cruel husband, and in False Pretences, a young
woman’s determination to trace her birth parents.

What's your latest release?
My
latest release in Tuesday’s Child. Heroine’s born on different days of the
week. Book 3
Old
Fashioned Romance to Savour
5*
Amazon Review
Tuesday's Child is an
old-fashioned romance in more than one sense of the phrase. With a
firmly-closed bedroom door, the reader is able to relish details of the
emotions of an emerging love story between two people - a young widow and
clergyman - reluctant to fall in love, and of the drawing room manners of the
Napoleonic era. In my opinion, this Days of the Week series gets better with
each book.
Q.
What are you working on now?
A.
I am now working on Wednesday’s Child. Heroines born on different days of the
week Book 4
The
stories in Sunday’s, Monday’s, Tuesday’s and Wednesday’s Child are ‘stand-alone
novels’ which are independent of each other. They are linked by a character in
Sunday’s Child and the main two characters in each book have appeared in
previous novels. Each one has different themes.
Q.
Where can we find you?
A.
The main sites where you can find me are www.rosemarymorris.co.uk and http:://bookswelove.net/ My novels are available as e-publications and
paperbacks on amazon.
