About Robin
Dinosaurs. Kama Sutra. Self-flushing toilets. Victorian England was surprisingly modern. Every time I write a story, I discover new and amazing facts. Little things that one never thinks about in the normal course of events. Like how many pockets did a man’s trousers have in 1882? Or did men’s trousers even HAVE pockets then?
I blame my love and fascination on Awaken, My Love, an erotic time-travel romance and my very first published book. Elaine, my modern-day heroine, travels to Victorian England and like myself at that time, had no idea of what to expect. We were both astounded to learn that toilet paper, sanitary napkins (I pored through twenty books to find one sentence mentioning their existence) as well as flushing toilets existed. The answer to the pocket issue? Both Charles and I were very glad to discover that men’s trousers had pockets. Where else could he have rested his hands?
Okay, I won’t go there.
Imagine, the research on Awaken, My Love was done without the internet. Now the abundance of historical knowledge available online makes research so much more fun...and timely! One of the most amazing compliments regarding my writing and research came from RUSA (Reference and User Services) of the American Library Association: “Her history is impeccable; the storytelling is straightforward but emotionally driven.”
Wow. I can’t tell you what a thrill it was to have the research I love so much to be recognized by the American Library.
