Paula asked Stephanie Dray:

How do you deal with those readers that are disappointed that America's First Daughter is a work of historical fiction and not a non fiction piece? Does that influence how you either work your future pieces and/or promote future pieces? IMO-I found it in the FICTION section, therefore I wasn't surprised nor disappointed that it was fiction and not nonfiction.

Stephanie Dray Hi Pauline! What a great question that you ask. Historical fiction is it's own artform and I wouldn't change anything about it to accommodate those people who prefer non-fiction history. There is room in the world for both. And I love both. But I have been wishing to embark upon an educational campaign that will help educate readers about the genre as a whole. Look forward to new blog posts and articles for me on the wonderful world of historical fiction, what it is. And what isn't. Thanks so much!

Hello Stephanie, I am one of the winners from the giveaway of My Dear Hamilton and I just wanted to inform you that whoever sent it out did so with an incomplete amount of postage so in order for me to pick up the book I had to pay $4.22. I have entered other giveaways and won and I was never asked to pay for the postage for the book. I didn't know if this was normal? -Danielle

Mary Alaga asked Stephanie Dray:

I absolutely loved My Dear Hamilton, as well as America's First Daughter, (but I'm still not a fan of Thomas Jefferson). For me, your story telling ability is like an Oscar winning movie, where you don't want it to end. Would you please consider a book about Adrienne Lafayette, and the Reign of Terror? The hints about her in My Dear Hamilton made me want to know more.
