Hello, Michelle! Your novel looks fascinating! My new novel -- CLAUDE & CAMILLE: A NOVEL OF MONET - is due out from Crown in five weeks!

Wish I could be there but I am on the other side of the country in New York City!
Stephanie Cowell commented on the blog post 'The Journey of Historical Fiction'
My grown children or their friends read my books and yes, I think they do see me in a new light! My younger son had turned many of his friends on to my books and my daughter-in-law raffles them off in gift baskets for school fund-raising! so I guess…

Hi, I'm a grandmother writer! Though I haven't used having grandkids in a novel yet, I did sketch them with their mom in an unfinished piece! You have got me thinking!

This sounds great, Stephanie. Monet, Renoir, cafés and learning French! I read your "Marrying Mozart" and was very touched by it. Wonderful how you create atmosphere, period, and very convincing characters. It's a gripping,…

My new novel is about Claude Monet in love and just beginning to paint and try to sell his work. Many of the scenes of his years 20-37 are set in Paris with his close friends Renoir, etc. I do have some scenes in cafes. I wish I could have spent…

How exciting, Stephanie, to meet another Paris lover-author! Thank you for your compliment. I am curious about how you are using Paris in your novel and what is happening there.... I set "Sex and Other Sacred Games"(co-authored with Kim…

Judith Lindbergh replied to the discussion 'VERY useful thing for my HF: dropping pictures in electronic file' in the group Historical Fiction
Hi, Stephanie. I do the same thing - sometimes in my research files, or even on my desktop background. I also find it helpful to listen to music from the period, if such a thing's available. I just sit and listen, closing my eyes, and it's…
VERY useful thing for my HF: dropping pictures in electronic file
I don't know if anyone else does this, but it focuses me right away. I drop in pictures of my characters or where they live and it helps me get in there right away. I'm writing about a 19th century woman and I drop in a contemporary painting of such a woman before a mirror... I find this to be a big help!MARRYING MOZART (Viking Penguin)CLAUDE & CAMILLE: a novel of Monet (Crown, April 2010)www.StephanieCowell.comSee More

Stephanie Cowell replied to the discussion 'Reading the Bad Stuff' in the group Fiction Writers
I have gotten into many situations with other writers, trying to help them. Some I managed very well...friends of friends, generally! And people have also helped me. I think the most devastating comment I received as an unpublished writer was when…

I never would have had it turn out as it did. You were with all of us when we began, you gave us courage.

I also signed up for your latest on Goodreads. You are in the City of Dreams? My friend, actress and writer, Joanna Rush, has moved to New England from NYC and is going there to visit friends this weekend. I will be promoting my books in this city,the setting of my two novels. Best to you...I hope to glean a little writing wisdom from you.

- How exciting, Stephanie, to meet another Paris lover-author! Thank you for your compliment. I am curious about how you are using Paris in your novel and what is happening there.... I set "Sex and Other Sacred Games"(co-authored with Kim Chernin) in my favorite Paris café. Now I am working on an erotic novel altogether set in Paris, and of course, the café plays a role again. Many great cafés play a role... :)

Cris, I started writing when I finally believed in myself enough and allowed my voice to emerge and trust the process. The piece I'm working on is a one-woman show about mental illness and it was bubbling under the surface for years. It was…
