Wedding of the Season and Scandal of the Year share the same premise-jilted lovers. Late Victorian-Edwardian is my niche, I think. But nowadays, no author can afford to do that, and it’s all worked out. The main reason I jumped around so much was that I wrote whatever came to mind, without any regard at all for the marketing aspects. Strong women in 1817 are the same as strong women in 1902. What differences did you find between your 19th century characters and your early 20th century characters? Since the publication of your first book, Prelude to Heaven (which I have a copy of, and loved it), you’ve jumped around the 19th century. As to Avon, from the moment I first presented the idea to them, they’ve been incredibly supportive. As to the Edwardian era, I’d been wanting to write in this time period for ages, but I just hadn’t gotten the right idea to work from. I always like to write about women who are strong and independent, and the whole motorcar motif worked really well with my type of heroine. I wanted to write a heroine with a motorcar. What sparked your desire to set your upcoming trilogy in the Edwardian era? Did you or your editor experience any trepidation over moving into this long “tabooed” time period? When she’s not tapping away at her keyboard, Guhrke spends time relearning how to ski, mastering the wakeboard grab, and trying to actually hit a golf ball. LAURA LEE GUHRKE spent seven years in advertising, had a successful catering business, and managed a construction company before she decided writing novels was more fun.
