Blending fantasy with Regency romance with Garth Nix and Zen Cho

This week on Heyer Today, Sara-Mae is chatting to not one, but two fabulous authors of magic-inflected Regency fiction. Garth Nix (Old Kingdom, Seven Towers and Keys to the Kingdom books) discusses how his book Newt's Emerald was a homage to Heyer, as well as giving us his list of top Heyer-inspired fantasy works. Zen Cho, our other guest, is a UK-based Malaysian author. Her books Sorceror to the Crown and its sequel, The True Queen, are full of a Heyerian sensibility, but include magic, feminism, dragons and fairies. We also explore LGBT strands in Heyer’s work and fan fiction inspired by this sort of subtext, and as usual, both authors discuss their favourite and least favourite Heyers.
