Back from the RT Convention

by on May.07, 2013, under Conference news

I just got back from the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention in Kansas City, where a snow storm hit just as the e-book Expo began. I want to thank all the readers who stopped by to say hello–I had a great time meeting you!

Lovey Dovey Books review

by on Mar.21, 2013, under Author news, Reviews

Another early review–Lovey Dovey Books gives Lord of Secrets 5 doves out of 5. “The suspense of discovering David’s dark secrets make the romance that much sweeter, because through all the drama and emotional distress, readers will come to understand and truly care for these characters.”

by on Dec.19, 2012, under Blog posts

Why would anyone play with fire, especially at Christmas time?  I’m at Romancing the Past today, taking a brief look at the old parlor game known as snap-dragon.

1889 illustration of the game of Snap-dragon

This 1889 depiction of Snapdragon by Gabriel Nicolet (1856-1921) illustrates the spectacle (and perhaps the danger) of the game.
