Guest Post: Kate Worsley, Author Of "She Rises"

Earlier this week, I shared with you my review of She Rises By Kate Worsley. (For my complete review and a giveaway of She Rises, please, click here.)

I was so captivated with this debut historical fiction novel that when the opportunity arose for a guest post from Ms. Worsley, I knew I wanted to hear more from this talented author.  Specifically, I was curious to hear about her inspirations for She Rises as well as her writing experience as a debut novelist.

A very special than-you to Ms. Worsley for graciously fulfilling this curiosity...

It is 1740 and Louise Fletcher, a young dairy maid on an Essex farm, has been warned of the lure of the sea for as long as she can remember--after all, it stole away her father and brother. But when she is offered work in the bustling naval port of Harwich, as a lady's maid to a wealthy captain's daughter, she leaps at the chance to see more of the world. There she meets Rebecca, her haughty young mistress, who is unlike anyone Louise has encountered before: as unexpected as she is fascinating.
