ellenkushnerAn online zine editor just sent me a query which I thought might be of interest to the public:
Q: Do you consider Swordspoint et al Regency novels?
A: Not at all. Regency novels (particularly Georgette Heyer's) were certainly an influence on me, but the novels' setting is meant to be a heady mix of Elizabethan, 17c and 18c as well as "Regency" periods (with a little Damon Runyon & Dickens & of course the glorious Whatnot thrown in).
