Q & A with AVA ARCHER PAYNE
Q: What exactly is a 'Hot Historical'?
A: A 'Hot Historical' is a classic historical romance--only shorter and steamier! (50,000+ words) All the best elements remain: a sexy hero, feisty heroine, and of course, a strong physical attraction. Hot Historicals are perfect for fans of traditional romance who occasionally like to spice things up.
Q: What else do you write?
A: I also write traditional historical romance novels under the pen name VICTORIA LYNNE. (100,000+ words) I've received two RITA Award nominations, and have consistently earned Romantic Times' coveted "Top Pick" award. What a thrill!
