Ashford Affair
The ASHFORD Tour Continues!
Over the past few days, I’ve been popping around the internet. You can find new Q&As on the blog of the lovely Kate Forsyth, Turning the Pages, and A Bookish Libraria.

Read MoreBlog Tour: Third Time's the Charm?
Today I’m appearing on not one, not two, but three blogs. I’m not sure if I’m channeling the Count who Counts here– three! three blogs!– or Monty Python’s Search for the Holy Grail, in which not one blog shall you count, or two, but three. Anyway, all three feature brand new Q&As (with some rather…

Read MoreLondon at the time of ASHFORD
This morning, Naomi McEneely sent me this wonderful video of London in 1927, captured on film for posterity by a cinematographic pioneer of the time. This is the London that Addie, in The Ashford Affair, leaves behind to go to Kenya. It’s pretty incredible how familiar some bits are and how strange and different others…
