episode 43: S05.39: Trailblazer Mary Balogh
The Trailblazers conversations continue this week with historical romance juggernaut Mary Balogh, whose decades-long career has shaped the Regency romance in both category and single title. We talk about historical accuracy, about research, about love, about staying true to your voice and your purpose, and about who Mary Balogh thinks is writing at the top of the game (spoiler: we agree).
We are so grateful to Mary Balogh for making time for us, and for her beautiful books.
