I’m back at work doing research for my latest M/M samurai erotic romance which is also a murder mystery. However, when it comes to an historical, much research is required. I’m learning all I can about the Tokugawa Shogunate, the last period of feudal Japan before the samurai class was abolished in the late 19th century.
The working title I have is Blind Passion and the romance centers around a samurai police man and a blind masseur. I will give more details, a blurb and a teaser as soon as I’ve written enough to have a teaser to show you. However, right now, I’m educating myself on the vast and complex bureaucracy of the Tokugawa shogunate, the structure of Edo (now Tokyo) as well as the nuts and bolts of the particular brand of police work my character will be doing. I actually love doing research and am excited about this project. Like I said, I will tell you more as it develops…
Research is so fantastic, you get inspired and you get to learn all this new stuff….
