Good morning, Hunter! Please tell us about yourself.
Heya! Thanks for featuring me today. Here’s my official bio via my publisher, Pen & Sword Books:
Hunter S. Jones is passionate about the history of romance, science and music, a.k.a. sex, drugs and rock & roll. She has a popular history blog, and is a historian for Past Preservers Casting. When she isn’t writing, talking or tweeting about kings, queens and rock stars, she’s living the dream in Atlanta, Georgia with her Scottish born husband.
I love that and believe it sums me up beautifully at this time.
Who are you and what do you like to do when you’re not a writer? Read, shop, travel, daydream for starters.
All my favourite things to do, too! Give us the elevator pitch for your book.
Sexuality & Its Impact on History: The British Stripped Bare…
Learn of the scandals and romance that shaped Great Britain. This provocative collection of essays depicts the cultural and societal kinks of the British, from the Anglo-Saxons, Medieval, Tudor, Regency, and Victorian eras.
Discover the ménage that changed the course of the Anglo-Saxon throne, go undercover to explore Courtly Love, learn about the business of Tudor and Regency marriages. Read of a possible dalliance involving Queen Anne Boleyn, and the controversial marriages of Mary, Queen of Scots. Peek into the bedrooms of Victorian prostitutes.
Each story provides shocking detail about what was at the heart of romance throughout British history.
Would you swig a magic potion or plot to kill your husband in order to marry your lover? These are just two of the many romantic and sexual customs from British history that you will explore when eight authors take us through the centuries. From bizarre trivia about courtly love, to techniques and prostitution, you’ll encounter memorable nuggets of provocative info that you'll want to share with friends and co-workers because when it comes to love, we all know that truth is stranger than fiction.
Intriguing! Do you have a favourite character in your story?
Lillie Langtry
Who is most like you?
Lillie Langtry. She was as independent as any female I’ve ever read about and a true inspiration. She paved the way for today’s female media superstars at a time when women couldn’t vote and could rarely own property. She was a remarkable woman.
Who would you like to see play your characters in a movie?
Sexuality & Its Impact On History would make an incredible TV series.
Do you have a routine to write?
No, not at all. Life is to short to plan it out. Planning and organizing a book is about all I can do. My life is lived free-style and I’ve found that spontaneous always surpasses anything that’s planned.
What do you do to market your book?
They would be best described as an army blitz or a cavalry charge. My team & I go in with a no-holds-barred style, openly blitzing social media. I have a fantastic fan base, too, and I adore them. It’s a beautiful thing.
What are your future plans for writing?
Look for the U.S. launch of Sexuality & Its Impact On History in a few months. Once this launch is completed, look for the next thing.
Thanks so much for joining me on my blog couch, today, Hunter!
