Alaine - Queen of Happy Endings: Interview & Giveaway with the author of Exit the Actress by Priya Parmar: "1. What was the inspiration for this book and why did you choose to write Historical Fiction?
Exit the Actress sort of chose me. Ellen Gwyn was the first woman I researched for my Ph.D and she stayed with me. She was a tenacious beastie and I bumped into her life all over London. When a friend asked me who I wanted to write about, her name just popped out. She was waiting in the wings."
