Winner #1
Thank you all so much for your ingenious spy gift ideas! Some of these may need to find their way into the Pink Carnation’s repertoire…. It was impossible to pick just one, so I fell back on the old “name in a hat” technique. The winner of the Orchid Affair ARC, chosen totally at random,…
Read MoreOn the First Day of Pink Carnation….
What do you get the spy who has everything? Probably not a partridge in a pear tree. The Orchid Affair takes place just after the holidays, in January of 1804, but we never do get to hear what the Pink Carnation gets for Christmas. So here’s your question (for an ARC of The Orchid Affair):…

Read MoreHappy Halloween! (And Give-Away)
Halloween is one of my favorite holidays. When else does one have the license to dress up in historical costume, overindulge in pumpkin-based foods, and tell ghost stories? Also, it’s kind of fun imagining what various Pink characters might dress up as… rather like that masquerade ball in Black Tulip. Vaughn’s masquerade was one of…

Only one day until Mistletoe!!!!! In the meantime, I still have a number of shiny Mischief of the Mistletoe ornaments just waiting to find good homes.
