Goodreads asked Lisa Norato:

Where did you get the idea for your most recent book?

Lisa Norato The idea for Love in A Victorian began close to home. It’s a clean and wholesome contemporary romance set in fictional Elm’s Corner, Rhode Island, but which was inspired by my own small community. The story is sprinkled with local history, my own childhood reminiscences, and Rhode Island trivia. I’ve even taken the liberty of borrowing first names of family and friends. I’ve always enjoyed walking around the neighborhood to admire it’s many historic homes. And I suppose I also might have been influenced by my love of watching HGTV renovation shows. Love in a Victorian is a romance novel, but it is also a love story about family and home, about the memories and love that make a house a home—even if that home is just you and your cat.
