Sawyer North – Featured Beau Monde Author
Sawyer North didn’t begin reading romance novels until he turned 50. All those years, wasted. Do you have a list of books you wish you’d never read so you could read them again for the first time? That’s Sawyer, right now, all the time.
It didn’t take him long to transition from writing science fiction to writing historical romance. After a couple of unpublishable manuscripts, he finally found the rhythm and discovered a publisher willing to take a chance on an unknown male romance writer. His wife is very happy about this, as we are finally reading the same books.
What do you love best/interests you most about the Regency Era?
Sawyer says, “I am most intrigued by how the Haut Ton existed inside a cage of rules and expected behaviors regarding minor matters while making a mockery of the moral standards they claimed to uphold. It creates a great canvas for rule-breaking relationships, battling hypocrisy, and overcoming the bonds of society.”
What do you like the most about The Beau Monde? How long have you been a member?
Sawyer says, “During my three years of membership, the Beau Monde community members have become my teachers, my role models, and my encouragers. In 2018, when I was seriously questioning if I had the capability to produce a readable Regency novel, the Beau Monde selected my manuscript, THE MEMORY OF BLUE, for the Royal Ascot Reader’s Choice Award. This literally kept me writing. I owe all of you my thanks.”
