Regency Nicknames
by admin on Jun.19, 2012, under Blog posts
Today I’m at Romancing the Past, blogging about nicknames of the regency. Stop by to learn how Thomas Raikes came to be called Apollo, and why Balloon Foley probably hated his nickname.
His engagement to actress Maria Foote was responsible for one of Joseph Haynes's three nicknames.
Book Signing

Courtesy of a very thoughtful person (thanks, Kathy!) here’s a picture of me at the Lori Foster Reader & Author Get Together, signing Ruined by Rumor posters. I don’t usually wear glasses except for reading and signing, but I think they make me look rather writerly in this case. 😉

The Historical Romance Critic reviews Ruined by Rumor
by admin on May.30, 2012, under Author news, Reviews
On his review site today, the Historical Romance Critic calls Ruined by Rumor “one of the best historical romances I’ve ever read” and gives it 5+ out of 5 stars. (He even tagged the review “best-damn-book-ever.”) Every writer loves a favorable review, but what makes it particularly rewarding is that the Historical Romance Critic is “a dude.” It’s nice to know there are men out there reading the genre!

Rosalyn Landor voices RbR audible book
by admin on May.21, 2012, under Author news
Not only did Ruined by Rumor come out today (brief pause while I do a happy dance), but I just learned this morning that the audible version is read by actress Rosalyn Landor. She’s a brilliant narrator who has voiced books by Lisa Kleypas, Julia Quinn, Mary Balogh, Sophie Kinsella, P.D. James and a host of other bestselling authors.
I’m practically giddy.
The audible version of Ruined by Rumor is available for purchase here.
