Search Terms and a Little Back-Patting

Hi! I’m working on a substantive post, so stay tuned for it, but in the meantime, I thought I’d post some search terms. I also wanted to mention that my new novel, Her Highness, the Traitor, will be published on June 1 and that I’ll be doing a blog tour. I’ll post the schedule here.

I was also thrilled to see the results of this survey of historical fiction readers. I’m in some august company!

Without further ado, here are some search terms for you:

Mattel tried to make a prototype, but the sixth finger kept breaking off, and the neck knob was too small.

Henry VII didn’t have much use for Facebook. He preferred Twitter.

Menopause.

      I don’t know of any contemporary depictions of Jane’s penance (which isn’t to say that there aren’t any), but I have some old paperbacks with the scene on it. They’re quite salacious!

  1. Hello Susan, many thanks for the ping back on my survey. With participants listing such a very large number of favourites authors, it is truly an outstanding achievement to be in the top list. Congratulations! If you have any suggestions for further analysis please let me know. My next topic is ‘She says, He says” which looks at male/female differences.
