Why I’m Humming The Beatles’ “Paperback Writer”….

by on Apr.25, 2014, under Author news

I’m so excited–I just learned from my publisher that my first regency, Ruined by Rumor, is going to be available in print! The book will go on sale June 2nd as a trade paperback. If you know any regency romance fans who prefer traditional paperbacks to e-books, please spread the word. The more successful the format is, the more likely Carina Press will be to offer more regencies in print.

I’ll post a link to the paperback edition as soon as it goes up on Amazon.

Release day!

by on Mar.10, 2014, under Author news, Bookshelf

An Heir of Uncertainty

An Heir of Uncertainty is now available at Amazon and all major e-book retailers.

I’m so excited–it’s release day for my newest regency, An Heir of Uncertainty!

A mystery wrapped in a romance, it’s the story of the two possible claimaints for a title and the dazzling fortune that comes with it: Colonel Win Vaughan, distant cousin to the late Earl of Radbourne, and the child that Lina, the earl’s young widow, is carrying. Only one  can inherit, so when danger begins to swirl around Lina and her unborn child, can she possibly trust Win?

You can order An Heir of Uncertainty here. I hope you enjoy it!

AudioGals review

by on Feb.10, 2014, under Author news, Reviews

Over at the AudioGals site, the wonderfully articulate and perceptive Caz has written a review of the audiobook version of Lord of Secrets, giving the content an A- and the narration a B-. I’m always grateful for reviews (even the unfavorable ones, as long as they mention what didn’t work for them so I’m not left lying awake at night, wondering, wondering…). I particularly appreciate the kind of thoughtful and detailed look Caz always takes at a story.

You can read the full review by clicking here.

RT Reviews AN HEIR OF UNCERTAINTY

by on Jan.22, 2014, under Author news, Reviews

I just received my first review for An Heir of Uncertainty, my upcoming (March 10) release. Romantic Times Reviews gives the book four stars and calls it “a mystery rolled into a love story that is both exciting and tender.” They also single out one of the secondary characters, Freddie, calling him a “standout.” Thanks, RT!

My first stab at regency millinery

by on Nov.19, 2013, under Blog posts

regency poke bonnet

My finished red velvet poke bonnet — though I’ll probably re-trim it, since I’m not entirely happy with the ribbon.

Today I’m at Romancing the Past, blogging about the regency bonnet-making workshop I attended this month, taught by expert milliner Lydia Fast. I learned an enormous amount, including the surprising amount of time and materials that go into a typical regency bonnet.
