I’d always been a very, er, dramatic child, so when I was about eight or nine, my parents decided to take me to a Shakespeare festival. MEREDITH DURAN: Good question! It was Shakespeare that got me hooked into my obsession with English history. What was it that first captured your interest in British history? Have you attained that goal of seeing the Holbein?

Now let’s chat!ĭUCK CHAT: Meredith, I’m curious – it says on your website that you grew up enamored of British history and one of your life’s goals was to go to London to see Holbein’s portrait of Anne Boleyn. Be sure to leave a meaningful question or comment for Meredith because she’s going to be giving away a copy of Bound by Your Touch and Written on Your Skin. She even gives us a sneak peek of her new book that’s being released next year. Her books have become fan favorites, and if you haven’t read any of Meredith’s stories yet, do read on and learn all about them. When she needs a fix, some of her favorite historical authors are: Laura Kinsale, Judith Ivory, Loretta Chase, Sherry Thomas, Connie Brockway, Joanna Bourne, Marsha Canham, and Jo Goodman

British history is a favorite of hers and she talks about that with us today. We have Meredith Duran in the house!īesides being a romance author, Meredith is a doctoral student in anthropology, loves doing field work in such places as India and browsing through library travelogues written by Nineteenth Century Englishwomen.
