This is the final book in a four book series and both Sarah Cooper and Alfie Nightingale will have to endure a deal of heartbreak and danger over the next two years to reach their happy ever after. Sarah becomes betrothed to Robert Billings and moves her family back to Colchester, and Alfie leaves to be a policeman in London. Somehow Sarah must hold the family together and pray that her man will come back to her. Alfie has a life changing decision to make but will he make the right one for himself and the family that he has abandoned?
I was sad to say goodbye to my characters, Sarah and Alfie Nightingale, after many years with them. I took them from twelve and thirteen years old to twenty-four and twenty-five with families of their own. The Nightingale Chronicles are family sagas and also regional as they are set firmly in Essex and the East End.
There are now something called Exotic Sagas - ones set in foreign places - such as the Tea Planter's Wife. It would appear, according to agents and editors these are highly desirable titles right now - also anything about an orphan. I have already written what could be classed as an Exotic in Victoria's War. Victoria isn't working class (so not a clogs and shawls - which the others were) but Anglo-Indian and forced to give up her heritage when she marries an English army captain. The book starts in India, then moves to England, Africa, India, Bruma, America and ends in England. This book was inspired by my mother's memoirs (she was Anglo-Indian) and I love it. Not sure why it hasn't proved as popular as my other WW2 books.
I was going to write a series about a family involved with building the railway but now wonder if I should write something about an orphan. Victorian era is packed full of interesting stories. Henry Mayhew is my go-to research book and I can't wait to finish the Regency I'm writing and the edits for Aria and then I'll get started on my reading.
best wishes

How interesting about Exotic Sagas, Fenella. It may be that publishers are keener on some 'exotic' places than others. I'd have thought myself that British India would be fine - I enjoyed learning about Olivia Colmam's Indian heritage in 'Who Do You Think You Are' recently. And the Exotic Marigold Hotel factor must be helping, too.
Good luck with your railway book. There were a lot of accidents with early railway engines - I'm sure you could create an orphan without too much hassle!
The terms "romance novel" and "historical romance" are ambiguous,
because the word "romance", and the associated word "romantic",
have a number of different meanings. In particular,
on the one hand there is the mass-market genre of "fiction dealing with love",
harlequin romance,[2] and on the other hand, "a romance" can also be defined as
"a fictitious narrative in prose or verse; the interest of which turns upon marvelous
and uncommon incidents"Novel editing
I really want to thank Dr Emu for saving my marriage. My wife really treated me badly and left home for almost 3 month this got me sick and confused. Then I told my friend about how my wife has changed towards me. Then she told me to contact Dr Emu that he will help me bring back my wife and change her back to a good woman. I never believed in all this but I gave it a try. Dr Emu casted a spell of return of love on her, and my wife came back home for forgiveness and today we are happy again.
