Kat Martin | Trapped in the Past

Trapped in the past for nearly two years, I have written four historicals in a

obligations made it impossible.

The good news is, when you are writing in a certain time period, you begin to get a feel for that period. Mostly, my historicals have been set in the Regency Period, but a few years ago, I got an itch to move on, and so I set The Heart Trilogy: HEART OF HONOR, HEART OF FIRE, and just released, HEART OF COURAGE, in London in the 1850’s.

Re: Kat Martin | Trapped in the Past

I enjoy all your books. I have read Heart of Honor and will need to look for Heart of Fire and Heart of Courage.

Have read your historicals in the past
and really enjoyed them. You do a
very good job of setting the tone for
the period in which the story happens.
Your characters are rich and wonderful
to get to know. They are "real" and I
find myself invested in the turmoil of
their lives. I find myself going back to
my favorite books just to read certain
scenes. Keep up the good writing.
