Love Regency? Join Us!

If you enjoy classic authors like Jane Austen and Georgette Heyer, or Regency novels written by current-day authors, you’re invited to join a new Inspirational Regency Readers group on Facebook.

Not sure what “Regency fiction” is? This refers to novels set in England during the years 1811-1820 (or thereabouts). Examples of current inspirational authors writing Regency novels would include me (Julie Klassen), Sarah Ladd, Kristi Ann Hunter, Carolyn Miller, Michelle Griep, Erica Vetsch, Abigail Wilson, and no doubt a few others that are not coming to my “locked down” brain at the moment. 🙂

Spearheaded by author-friend Erica Vetsch, the online group is a place to post Regency-era topics and images, ask questions, and chat about relevant books, movies, clothing, customs, etc.

Just for fun, here’s a little game to see how many Regency-era terms you already know:

Answers: 1g. 2l. 3c. 4f. 5e. 6i. 7h. 8a. 9k. 10m. 11n. 12o. 13j. 14d. 15b.

How did you do? Either way, if you read (or write) Inspirational Regency fiction, I hope you will join the group!

  1. I knew bluestocking and rake. I recognised those from one of your books. Rake from The Girl in the Gatehouse. I forgot where I’ve seen bluestocking, perhaps in The Maid of Fairbourne Hall, but I’m not sure.

    I got muddled with pelisse and reticule, and interchanged their meanings…

    I guessed hen-witted, quadrille and tabby right.The appearance of the word gave me hints!

      1. Julie, you do that very well! I enjoy your books very much. I love the Regency words included here and there because it makes the book feel more Regency-like.

        I never knew that the Regency period was so short.(Just 9 years! 1811~1820) What makes it called the Regency era and why does it start and end at that time?

  2. I knew them all and have been reading recency for about 10 years. It was such a blessing to me to discover Christian authors of recency.

  3. I loved the Regency bingo game and this matching game! What a fun and clever way to entertain your readers while educating them as well!

  5. I got them all correct except I reversed addlepated and hen-witted.

    It’s wonderful that you are having an Inspirational Regency Facebook Group. I would love to be a part, but am not on Facebook. I hope it goes well with all of you.

  6. I knew them because I just played this fun game called “Regency Bingo” 😉, and I think I’ve read all of your books 🥰
