Those Humes, also known as Home, inspired this novel so a great deal of my family history and heritage are woven in. The Jacobites are also fascinating to me personally since my Scottish ancestors, the Humes, were Jacobites who got into more than a wee bit of trouble for their allegiances, forfeiting all that they had in 1715. Your site is lovely! I’ve always been fascinated with the intertwined history of England and Scotland, especially when the Stuart dynasty ended and the Hanoverians came to the throne. So happy to be your guest, Laurel, thank you. Can you share your inspiration for selecting this time in British history for your new novel? The Rose and the Thistle is set in Northern England and Scotland during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715. Grab a cup of tea and some shortbread and settle in. Releasing next month, Laura graciously agreed to talk with me in advance of publication sharing insights into the storyline, characters, historical context, and her writing career. Bestselling author Laura Frantz’s forthcoming, The Rose and the Thistle, is briming with heather, history, and romance during the Jacobite Rebellion of 1715.
