And we're back to Letters to Oliver! Enjoy this week's snippet.
Emily's talking about her presentation to society. Due to the fact that she never left off mourning Prince Albert, Queen Victoria did not attend many salons after his death (hence the fact that she is presented to the Prince and Princess of Wales instead). Also, on May 1st, 1876, Victoria was proclaimed Empress of India. Hence that reference.
Here 'tis!

Ooh, history and magic all in one.
ReplyDeleteLOL, I like the Prince's wink and her interpretation that he thought she was clever.

ReplyDeleteyou are a flippin GENIUS.
i LOVE this. i'm not even kidding a little bit.
i LOVE it.
Lol! This is one of the best teasers I've read today. Your letter technique is done to perfection. Love, love, love it! Your characters are so funny. Lol the last line is so cute :D
ReplyDeleteyay! I missed Letters. I just love your MC's voice. Victorian England and magic. There is no better combination! as always, great snip :)
ReplyDeleteI'll echo Karla's feelings! Yay for Letters!! Loved it. This just made me LOL: I wish I could tell Mamma that the Prince approves of my clever use of magic, but alas, she would probably take affront to his winking at me in any context, let alone a magical one.
ReplyDeleteGreat Teaser!
Love epistolary stuff! And you've clearly done your research, which I really appreciate. The voice totally rings true. Well done!
ReplyDeleteJill is right. You've obviously done your research. I like how effortless this appears when historical work can often be the exact opposite.
ReplyDeleteLoved the teaser. Especially the use of magic and that last line.
ReplyDeleteWow! Thank you all so much, guys! History + magic is sort of my ideal world, so while I have done a lot of research, I still love it to pieces. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comments!
I love Historical Fiction, and I love magic, and you've created a WONDERFUL mix! This is the kind of book I'd push people in line to get to. Your MC's voice is great! What have I been missing???
ReplyDeleteI want to know more!
Since I didn't get a chance to comment on your teaser last week... The voice is amazing. Magic + historical fiction = kickass! Awesome job!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, guys! I feel so loved. :)
