R.W. Winton

I find now to be a very distressing time to be someone who studies history.

I am Very Tired as a writer of American historical fiction, but I'm going to keep going.

Remember friends, history is and always has been queer.

A stack of paperbacks and an e-reader showing the cover of a book, which is also the background of the image. Two wooden chairs sit before a fireplace, between them a table with two wine glasses. Windows to either side of the fireplace show leafless winter trees and gentle snow. At the top of the image is a faded colonial American flag with 13 stars, and a british flag from the same period. The title of the book is Honor of a Gentleman and the author is RW Winton.

For the entire month of January, my most recent queer #HistFic book is available for only $1.99 in ebook! Can an American and a British officer ever see each other as anything but enemies at the end of the American Revolution? 🌈📚📖 books2read.com/u/bagr5x

Battle of Bunker Hill reenactment will move to Gloucester, partly because of lack of parking Due to the tight space in Charlestown, the 250th anniversary of the revolutionary battle will be commemorated on the Gloucester waterfront.

Oh right, it wasn't because there are houses right against the remaining battlefield or the fact that in the past the neighbors have assaulted NPS staff (who were carrying muskets) during programs or NPS regulations against battle attacks on property that did it. PARKING! That is the reason 🗃️

I am BEGGING romance authors to stop making their characters have sex in hay. Do you understand how scratchy and uncomfortable hay is? Good god, the CHAFING that would happen. There is no sexual experience that could ever be good enough to make up for that.

I'm new here, but I like this site so far. I'm a queer author writing queer historical fiction. I've written 4 books in my Revolution series set during the American Revolution, and am now working on a series set in 1870s Colorado. I'm excited to share more of my writing journey here!
