Bestselling historical fiction author Jane Healey started the Historical Happy Hour (H3) series in early 2021 as a way to connect fellow historical fiction authors with new readers. Each month, Healey interviews an author about their latest novel (no spoilers!) and also asks questions about their research and writing process. Past guests include Pam Jenoff, Mark Sullivan, Lauren Willig and M.J. Rose.
