Historical romance authors Rose Lerner (Sailor's Delight) and Olivia Waite (The Care and Feeding of Waspish Widows) will discuss their latest books in this ZOOM webinar. Both authors have a gift for creating characters who are deeply relatable, are beautifully flawed, and earn their happily ever afters. 

About The Books: In Sailor's Delight, self-effacing, overworked bookkeeper Elie Benezet doesn’t have time to be in love. Too bad he already is—with his favorite client, Augustus Brine. The Royal Navy sailing master is kind, handsome, and breathtakingly competent. He’s also engaged to his childhood sweetheart. And now that his prize money is coming in after years of delay, he can afford to marry her…once Elie submits the final prize paperwork. In The Care and Feeding of Waship Widows, Agatha Griffin finds a colony of bees in her warehouse, capping the not-so-perfect ending to a not-so-perfect week. Busy trying to keep her printing business afloat amidst rising taxes and the suppression of radical printers like her son, the last thing the widow wants is to be the victim of a thousand bees. But when a beautiful beekeeper arrives to take care of the pests, Agatha may be in danger of being stung by something far more dangerous.

About The Authors: Rose Lerner writes historical romance with strong heroines and adorable heroes. She has taught craft and research workshops for conferences, libraries, and writers’ groups. Her small-town Lively St. Lemeston series has been featured in NPR’s Book Concierge and Publishers Weekly. When she’s not writing or researching, you can find Rose reading, watching, cooking, doodling, rambling, and daydreaming in Philadelphia. Olivia Waite writes queer historical romance, fantasy, science fiction, and essays. She is currently the romance fiction columnist for the New York Times Book Review, where she writes reviews and thoughtful essays on the genre’s history and future.
