F.A.Q.

​

What gave you the idea to study Canadian romance?

 

I started being involved with reading groups a few years ago, and I have seen a more recent interest in Canadians wanting more ownership of our romance stories. Seeing how eager people were to learn more about Canadian romance made me want to reprint the ones that have been forgotten about.

​

What books are you focusing on in your research?

 

That's a surprise! But I am focusing on authors whose careers started before the 21st century. After the TV adaption of Bridgerton, romance novels really took off, so it would be impossible to cover everyone in just one book. Of course, there is always room for more research beyond my blog!​​

​

Are you related to any of the authors?

​

Wouldn't that be cool! Alas, no, I am a descendent of Filles du Rois, though, and Mennonites.

 

How are you doing your research?

 

I am an independent researcher using the skills I gained through my English degree and as a Library Technician. Throughout the process, I have been consulting a variety of scholars and researchers who have studied Canadian writers before me. ​

 

How do you plan to publish it?

 

I am planning to independently publish my research with selected reprints to make the Northern Romance Collection.

​

Will you ever write your own books?

​

Never say never.

 

What is your favourite Canadian Romance novel?

 

Jennifer Robson's Somewhere in France (pub. 2013).​
