Скачать или смотреть Book Talk: "A Rapping At the Door" (Book III in my Tales of Chetzemoka historical fiction series)

Be sure to find my books on Amazon! https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/... In this video we discuss my book, "A Rapping At the Door." (This is Book 3 in the Tales of Chetzemoka — Nurse McCoy's book.) We talk about the themes and plot elements of the book, including 19th-century con artists, breach of promise to marry suits, cycling, hair art, Victorian foods, and more. I call out some of the sources that inspired elements of the story including Allan Pinkerton's book, "Spiritualists and Detectives," Denise Bates' book, "Breach of Promise to Marry: A History of How Jilted Brides Settled Scores", and Houdini's book, "The Right Way to Do Wrong." Background visuals in this video include some of the real places that inspired locations in the book (Port Townsend / Chetzemoka, the original of Silas' house, and The Bishop Hotel), 19th-century advertisements and foods, and 19th-century pictures that inspired my characters. — Sarah & Gabriel Chrisman
