🖤 I’m Abby, a former high school educator turned author, professional rabbit-hole chaser, and self-proclaimed armchair time-traveler.
📖 I’ve made a few trips already
When I set out to write my debut time-travel historical romance trilogy, The Music & Madness Series—which is currently out in the wild living its best life in agents' query inboxes—I knew there would be research. Corset instructions, carriage speeds, and the art of social etiquette in Hyde Park are all things I’ve experienced… from the safety of my thoroughly modern couch.
I’ll share what I’ve learned with you!
⏳ While I can’t be an H.G. Wells fairy godfather and bestow you with the ability to time-travel, I can grant your history wishes via fun facts, tidbits, and humorous trivia I’ve discovered along the way.
✒️ Teaching literature to high school seniors brought me one universal truth: history is never boring if you focus on the weird, passionate, and hilariously chaotic human choices behind it. And that’s what Chrono & Quill is all about.
Use this blog as your tea break for:
Historical Rabbit Holes: The strange, scandalous, and bizarre facts that history textbooks conveniently left out.
Behind-the-Scenes Writing Updates: The raw, unfiltered reality of querying, drafting, and bringing time-travel romance to life.
Pop Culture & Book Rambles: Deep dives into our favorite historical tropes, swoon-worthy reads, and time-travel logic.
So grab a cuppa, sink into your favorite armchair, and let's do some time-traveling. No portal required.
