Writing Historical Fiction: Lauren Chater, The Beauties
Lauren Chater is the author of the historical novels The Lace Weaver, Gulliver's Wife and The Winter Dress. Her latest book, The Beauties is a seductive story of rivalry, artistic passion and a woman bold enough to use her beauty as a weapon.
It's a dual timeline, multiple point of view narrative set in the seventeenth century written in Lauren's beautiful prose style, and meticulously weaving fact and fiction.
In this episode Pamela chats to Lauren about the inspiration for the book, her writing process, developing a sense of self as a writer and how she incorporates writing into her life. It's a great conversation that will appeal to both readers and writers.
In the introduction Pam talks about her upcoming retreat and our latest Patreon bonus, The Diary of a Procrastinator.
