Too many to count or list! I know that in addition to whatever else is on my shelf I'll be reading a lot of material for the Gilded Age historical mystery series I'm writing for Kensington. That includes the New York Times archives for the period. There is something absolutely thrilling about reading a newspaper published more than 100 years ago, especially if you are following a developing story. You know how it's going to end, but your source doesn't! That's another bonus to writing historical fiction.

Rosemary Simpson:
I picked up What the Dead Leave Behind because I've always thought that 1888 was an especially eventful year - along with the Great Blizzard and Jack the Ripper, the International Council of Women was formed, the London Matchgirl Strike happened, slavery was fully abolished in Brazil...are there any other major events that you'd like to incorporate into Prudence's story?
