I’ve been portraying Susan B. Anthony in costume and researching her family since I wrote her biography in 1994. I became hooked when I discovered her brother Daniel Read Anthony, the subject of my 2017 novel The Truth About Daniel. Although raised a Quaker, he was one of the original Kansas Jayhawkers, possessing a lightning speed trigger finger and an even quicker temper. Chronicling his courtship of an heiress from Martha’s Vineyard has led me to ten cities as well as many delightful side trips to study Victorian customs and the Civil War. I enjoy English Country Dancing every week and one of my favorite scenes happens at a ball.

The Printer’s Devil and Other Rabbit Holes

A bearded 19th century publisher scolds a terrified young apprentice while other men look on

One of the hazards of writing historical fiction is the research rabbit hole. These detours can last minutes or entire days, and they pull you away from the story you are supposed to be writing. Worse, they often yield fascinating material that never finds a place in your book.

That happened to me recently while working on a chapter of Songs in the Night in which D.R. Anthony was speaking with
