First of all welcome Rachel and
thanks for being my guest at FLY HIGH!
Thank you so much for having me come and chat.
Just out of curiosity, you know
I’m Italian and your surname is Rossano.
Are you of Italian origins?
Unfortunately I don’t come by the Italian name by blood. I married into
it, but I love Italians and their culture.
Honor: Second Novel of Rhynan is part of a series set
in the Middle Ages and featuring intriguing love stories and gripping
adventures. What is your fascination with medieval history? When did it start?
It started when I was young. I loved fairy tales, queens, kings,
princes, and princesses. The romance of the Arthurian legends and the
fascination with England started almost as soon as I was reading books on my
own. I spent hours researching the Tudor dynasty of English history when I was
a teen, but when I started writing I settled more in the Middle Ages because of
the simpler and wilder setting.
You planned the Novels of Rhynan as a 5-book series + an
anthology. Are the books stand-alone volumes or a connected saga following the
same characters?
Each book stands alone. Each book is about a different couple, but they
are linked by friendship and family. The heroes of the first and second books
are best friends. The third book is about the man that the heroine in the
second book rejects. The fourth and fifth books are going to be about the
second generation of these couples. Reading the books in order will enrich the
experience, but each can be enjoyed completely alone.
