Joanna first struggled to come up with reasons that could excuse the presence of her heroine in some of those taboo areas.īut after much rumination, she realized that the problem solved itself if the heroine became a man. There were a lot of places into which the author wanted her heroine to venture but the cultural norms of the times wouldn’t have permitted it.

‘Provoked’, the first book from Joanna Chambers to feature two male leads, was initially designed to be a traditional M/F historical romance.

She was only seven-years-old at the time and so it wasn’t so surprising that the experience dissuaded her from writing any further.īut she never forgot the excitement she felt the day she sat down to write those first few words. Joanna’s story wasn’t up to standard, or so she was told. The Brownies are like girl scouts but they are based in the UK.
