My two MCs couldn’t dress more differently! Angelika can be found donning exquisite costumes and chic gowns, while Elsa sports a stained apron and messy kerchief as she’s whipping up sweets. #momswritersclub

Q. 2 #momswritersclub Clothes can say a lot about a person. What does your MC's wardrobe look like?

Thank you, Tracy! I absolutely love it!

I include other seasons, too, but I think I tend to gravitate toward summer and have some pivotal events happen then because it’s my favorite season.

Yes, a library is a definite must for any dream home!

They both sound like lovely homes!

Heather Walrath | Historical Fiction Author @heatherwalrath.bsky.social · 8d

Yes, definitely true in both cases!

Heather Walrath | Historical Fiction Author @heatherwalrath.bsky.social · 8d

Elsa would probably decorate at the very beginning of fall and get really into baking fun Halloween treats. #momswritersclub

Yes, though they both also must ultimately learn that it’s not the place, but the people, that make a home!

Angelika adores her family’s quiet lakeside summer home outside Salzburg. And Elsa would like to live above the New York bakery she dreams of opening. #momswritersclub
