Heyer Today is the ultimate Georgette Heyer podcast. This week we talk to Emma Darwin. She\'s the only author to be simultaneously listed for the Commonwealth Writers\' Best First Book, AND the Romantic Novelist\'s Association Book of the Year.

And she has one other small detail about her ancestry that people tend to fixate on\\u2026 yes, she is Charles Darwin\\u2019s great-great granddaughter. But she\\u2019s so much more than that; an accomplished novelist and teacher, as well as a judge on several writing awards (the Crowns in particular).

So we were delighted to be able to chat to her about all manner of things relating to Heyer\\u2019s craft, how to write historical fiction and the importance of forgetting your research in order to make a story sing.
