Flights of Fancy

Jen Turano's historical details feel so vivid — I'm curious whether she drew from personal research or imagination. Did the setting influence the story's tone?

The lighthearted moments really made the story shine, but I wondered if some readers felt the humor detracted from the serious messages. How did others experience that balance?

Her daring spirit made her stand out, but I'm curious if that was planned from the start or developed during writing. Did it shape the romance as well?
