    Hi Paloma and welcome! Your background is certainly rich with material that you can use for creative work. I’ve always admired historical fiction for the richness of its research and how authors are able to weave their stories skilfully. Looking forward to reading your work!

    Welcome, Paloma. I look forward to sharing this journey with you. How fascinating that you were a trial lawyer. Isn’t it fun to be getting back to writing?
    Amazing that your sister can answer questions like that!!! LOL!

    Hi Paloma,

    Historical mystery/romance sounds intriguing. I’m looking forward to sharing stories with you.

    YES, I think you’ve got the right idea with the “honest audience” that makes you stronger. My architect friend says it worked the same way for her in grad school, and my counselor friend in his training, and I know it certainly does for me in my writing.

    Hi Paloma,

    Being able to draw a jury into one side of the legal argument is quite a skill and easily transferable to storytelling. I respect your years of study and discipline and that as well is a great deal of what writing is all about. Study and writing; and, of course, arguing (kindly) in critiques.

    Historical romance is becoming a nice escape for me instead of reading history books themselves. You are lucky to have such a sister for this! ;p

    I am looking forward to working with you!

    Hi Paloma, You have a lovely name. I have a soft spot for historical novels, peeks into time’s past are a treat. Do you have a favourite time period? If so what draws you to it? <3

    Hi Paloma!

    Wow. What books has your sister written? And can we give you our historical questions to give to her? 😉

    Also, do you intend to use your courtroom experience as inspiration?

    @lorimarie – I don’t have a favorite time period, I tend to go through phases. Right now, it’s regency, which intrigues me both because of the lack of a modern criminal-law investigative system the way we have today, and because of the clothing.

    @joe – My sister hasn’t written books yet (she’s about halfway through her phd program), but has two articles in the works for publication. As far as courtroom inspiration – I’ve thought about it, and might someday, once I’m a little further from it.

    So great to meet you Paloma! I’m excited to see what you share with us (and jealous of your walking-talking reference manual! That’s neat!).
