Today, I'm joined by Alivia Fleur, all the way from a farm in Australia. In this brilliant quiz, Alivia asks the vital questions: is it a RAKE or a RADISH? Alivia is a historical romance author who moved from writing short stories to novels when her characters kept showing up with copious amounts of emotional baggage, demanding it be explored. Her love of the Victorian era led her to create her first historical romance series, Tales from Honeysuckle Street.Instagram: @aliviafleur_writesHow did you do?If you want to share your score, join my new Book Club on Facebook, which welcomes fans of all genres.Support Julia by buying her booksOrder signed paperbacks of Julia's books directly from the author here.
