Can
you tell us a bit about yourself?
Hi, I’m A.S. Fenichel. Real name: Andrea Sue.
I’m
married to a wonderful man and currently have one fur baby, an eleven-year-old
cat named Molly Cat.
I
write Regency historical romance with strong female characters who find many
ways of being empowered in a time when that was difficult to do. My hero’s will
touch your heart in ways you cannot yet imagine when they show you what they’re
willing to risk for true love.
Where did you grow up?
I was
born on Long Island , New York New Jersey Netherlands East Texas . Now, I call Southern
Missouri home. We just built a home in the Ozarks and it’s
fabulous. You can follow me on Instagram for a peek.
When
did you begin writing?
I started writing in my early twenties, though I had lived with stories in my
head all my life. It never occurred to me to write them down before then.
Do you write during the day, at night or whenever
you can sneak a few moments?
Currently, I’m a full time writer. I write during the day. Usually two
to three hours in the morning and a couple more in the afternoon depending on
deadlines and editing responsibilities.
What
is this book about?
A Lady’s Virtue is about Sylvia Dowder and Anthony Braighton. Sylvia has been
jilted after a very long courtship and engagement. Unable to tolerate the
disappointment of her family, she joins the Everton Domestic Society as their
resident party planner.
Anthony
has recently been raised to the title of Earl of Grafton. He was raised in America
What inspired you to write it?
It started a long time ago. When I was thirty-five my first
husband died suddenly. After, I wanted to write about that kind of loss, but
just couldn’t do it. Finally, last year I wrote and published A Lady’s Honor
about Markus losing his wife, Emma and finding love again with Phoebe, the
Everton Lady assigned to save him from himself.
Once the Everton Domestic Society was created, I had all these fabulous
women who needed their stories told. A Lady’s Virtue is the third book in the
series, but all of the books can be read as stand alone.
Are you a member of a critique group? If no, who
provides feedback on your work?
Not really. I have a group of writer friends
who I can ask to beta read my books. There are enough of us that one or two are
usually available to help out before the books goes to my editor at Kensington
Publishing.
Who is your favorite author?
Living? It’s a toss up between Mary Jo
Putney, Eloisa James and Jude Devereaux
Dead? Jane Austen
Do you have an agent or are you looking for one?
I am represented by Bookends Literary
Agency.
Was the road to publication smooth sailing or a
bumpy ride?
Oh Lord! Bumpy does not even cover it. It
took me seventeen years of rejection before I was published. Three years later
my publisher went out of business. Thankfully, I found another publisher, and
I’m still with them.
Where
can readers purchase a copy of your book?
A Lady’s Virtue is available at most vendors:
What is one piece of advice you would like to share
with aspiring authors everywhere?
Join a writer’s group. Other Authors are
very generous and you’ll need their support. This is a tough business.
What
is up next for you?
A Lady’s Past is the forth and final book in the Everton Domestic Society series
and will be available November 19, 2019. Diana is a brilliant
scientist being chased by French spies when Jacques finds her alone in the
snow. I think you’ll love them and the book.
Is there anything you would like to add?
Thank you so much for having me here today.
I can’t wait to hear what everyone thinks of A Lady’s Virtue.
