Teaser Tuesday: Simon Montfort
With the release of The Other Daughter only three weeks away, my hero, Simon Montfort, has been conspicuously clearing his throat and adjusting his cuffs, wondering why he hasn’t had his Teaser Tuesday spotlight yet. How to describe Simon? He’s the scion of an old and proud family, but his upbringing has been anything but…

In between reading more than I ever expected to know about World War I in Picardy, I’ve been typing up tomorrow’s Teaser Tuesday post about the hero of The Other Daughter, Simon Montfort.

Read MoreMOONFLOWER Contest!
A few weeks ago, a box of ARCs of The Lure of the Moonflower, aka Pink XII, turned up on my doorstep: It’s really time they found good homes, isn’t it? I’ll admit, even though I knew it had to be done, it’s a bit of a wrench ending the series. It’s hard not to…
