Hello Izzy
|
What makes this book special to you? The Shopkeeper’s Widow is my first historical romance. I found that I loved researching and writing it much more than contemporary romance I’d previously done. It won't be the last one! |
|
|
What is your next project? I am currently working on two projects. The first is a prequel novella for The Shopkeeper’s Widow working title: The Woodcarver’s Granddaughter. The second is the sequel to my contemporary romance Finding Boaz, working title: Finding Grace. |

|
Who is your faviourte author and what is it that really strikes you abou their work? Currently my favorite author is Regina Scott. I find her humor striking. Her characters are so real I feel like I could run into them someday. She has written American West and Regency, both are favorite time periods for me. |

How can readers connect with you? |
Let's meet Delany….
|
Tell us your name and a little bit about yourself My name is Delany Button Fleet. I came to the Virginia colony with my father. We were indentured to Mr. Fleet of Norfolk, Virginia Colony. |
|
|
Where do you live, and why do you choose to live there? I still live in the Port of Norfolk. The year my father died I married the son of our master, Tom Fleet. When Tom died the family store came to me. It makes me a good living. Good enough that I plan to remove to an estate I'm building in Northumberland County. |
|
|
What is a quirk of your personality that people don't know? I love scientifical gadgets. I've recently installed a waterfall for bathing in my house. It's quite refreshing in our oppressive summer heat. |
|
|
Who chronicled your story, and why do you think she picked you? Mrs. Izzy James chronicled my story. I'm not sure why she picked me, I'm just a regular person. Oh, I just remembered. She told me once that I had qualities she admired. Qualities she'd seen in other strong women in her life. |
|
|
What obstacles did you overcome in order to reach your happily-ever-after? I'm thankful it's a short list: Lord Dunmore's raids, Kidnapping, the biggest thing was his ownership of his parents plantation and all the people there. |
|
|
Tell us about your special romantic interest. What makes them so special? I do not really know where to begin. I've known Field since I was a girl. He's fascinated by God's creation. He'll make a wonderful planter. He's spontaneous and lively. His eyes sparkle with good humor. He tells wonderful stories. To say nothing of his broad shoulders and how well he dances. |
