SUMMARY:Virtual - Celebrating America's 250th: The Two Nerdy History Girls Discuss Everyday Life in 1776
DESCRIPTION:Online - Zoom\n\n\n\n**PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A VIRTUAL PROGRAM 
 THAT WILL TAKE PLACE VIA ZOOM. Registrants will receive a link to access 
 the Zoom Webinar via email. Due to limited space\, if you know you cannot 
 make it live do not register with zoom but please fill out THIS FORM to 
 receive the video link.**  \n\nWe're at it again! We keep having so much 
 fun with Loretta and Susan that we had to keep bringing them back for 
 encore performances. And\, this time\, they are focusing on the 250th 
 anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence. They are so 
 knowledgeable about the everyday lives of people who lived through this era 
 as well as how war could upend those lives. We know that\, as always\, 
 we'll have a great conversation and learn so much about how this historic 
 happening affected every aspect of people's lives. \n\nYou know them as the 
 Two Nerdy History Girls - authors Loretta Chase and Susan Holloway Scott 
 were the originators of the infamous blog. We\, once again\, have Loretta 
 and Susan here to answer all of our burning questions about the 250th. How 
 do they do their research\, how much of it comes out of their visits to 
 Colonial Williamsburg\, and how do they incorporate their knowledge into 
 their writing? We can't wait for what we know is going to be a fascinating 
 conversation between these two friends and researchers.\n\nLoretta Chase 
 has worked in academe\, retail\, and the visual arts\, as well as on the 
 streets—as a meter maid—and in video\, as a scriptwriter. She might 
 have developed an excitingly checkered career had her spouse not nagged her 
 into writing fiction. Her bestselling historical romances\, set in the 
 Regency and Romantic eras of the early nineteenth century\, have won a 
 number of awards\, including the Romance Writers of America’s RITA® and 
 Vivian®. For more about her past\, her books\, and what she does and 
 doesn’t do on social media\, please visit her website. \n\nSusan Holloway 
 Scott is the author of over fifty historical novels and novellas. Her 
 bestselling books have received numerous awards and honors\, and with more 
 than four million copies of her books in print\, she has been published in 
 nineteen foreign countries around the world. She has also written under the 
 pseudonyms Isabella Bradford and Miranda Jarrett.\n\nSusan is a graduate of 
 Brown University\, and lives with her family in a book-filled house outside 
 of Philadelphia\, PA.\n\nCheck out the previous posts on Two Nerdy History
