Sandra Schwab has been delighting readers with her unusual historical romances since 2005. She particularly likes the quirky bits of history, so in her books, you’ll find Roman pet eels, Regency gentlemen with green hair, and medieval tournaments in Victorian Britain. She writes both m/m and m/f historicals - happy endings always guaranteed!

She lives in Frankfurt am Main, Germany, with a sketchbook, a ukulele (well, more than one), and an ever-expanding library.

“and white wrappers, and this only changed in the 1860s. But Uncle Allan is quite taken with Dickens’s and Thackeray’s”
Sandra Schwab, The Bride Prize: Allan's Miscellany 1839

“carried the scent of roses through the open windows. Miss Florence Marsh sat on the sofa, mending one of her father’s”
Sandra Schwab, The Bride Prize: Allan's Miscellany 1839

“Every ruin is packed like a biscuit box.”
Dorothy Dunnett, Dolly and the Starry Bird

“In Rome there is a pathological shortage of small coins. For change, the little shops tend to use candy.”
Dorothy Dunnett, Dolly and the Starry Bird

“I would give you my soul in a blackberry pie; and a knife to cut it with.”
Dorothy Dunnett, The Disorderly Knights

“Today,’ said Lymond, ‘if you must know, I don’t like living at all. But that’s just immaturity boggling at the sad face of failure. Tomorrow I’ll be bright as a bedbug again.”
Dorothy Dunnett, The Disorderly Knights

“I see now that there is a great deal in what Aunt Almeria says. She considers that there are terrible pitfalls in Society."

Sir Richard shook his head sadly. "Alas, too true!"

"And vice," said Pen awfully. "Profligacy, and extravagance, you know."

"I know."

She picked up her knife and fork again. "It must be very exciting," she said enviously.”
Georgette Heyer, The Corinthian
