Historical Happy Hour
Jane Healey is the bestselling author of several books of historical fiction and the host of Historical Happy Hour, a live interview and podcast featuring premiere historical fiction authors and their latest novels: “One of my favorite things as a writer is to talk to other writers. In each episode, I will interview a historical fiction author with a brand new book coming out. We’ll talk all about their latest novel, but also discuss their writing process and research, and their life beyond being an author.” Healey's new Cold War spy novel, The Women of Arlington Hall, releases July 8th, 2025 and is available now for pre-order.
