Then again, when it's bad enough for me to do that, there are usually other issues with the book. As a writer, I found that I had to take some poetic license and had my lead order an Elizabethan court gown and receive it the next day. It was important for pacing, but I grimace when I think about it. With hand stitching all all components and details, it would take at least a week (even if the whole staff of that particular draper were working around the clock). @ Pat -- *raises hand* I have found myself totally discounting the whole book based on historical inaccuracy.

I will admit you are responsible for my return to historicals. I had burned myself out on them and your books brought me back. I'm now reading historicals again. Loved the blurb about your new book.

I particularly loved Henry the fairy-godmother and the 3 "rats"! As for historical accuracy- it IS important to me as a reader, but I do not need to feel that I am actually reading a history book (and believe me, I read PLENTY of those)- it just has to be relatively correct. A couple pet peeves of mine- established authors with grammical /spelling/ massive factual errors. I don't like seeing "nauseous" rather than "nauseated", or referring to someone as the "duke of blah" instead of the "Duke of Blah". For one thing, it makes me wonder if anyone even bothered to edit or proofread it :) Eloisa- Congratulations on A Kiss at Midnight, it was truly, wonderfully enjoyable!!! :mickey: in honor of RWA :)
