Lure of the Moonflower
Teaser Tuesday: the Pink Novella That Wasn't
The last time we saw Jane Wooliston, aka The Pink Carnation, was in Pink X, aka The Passion of the Plumeria, as she declared her intention to go deep undercover– alone. That was back in the spring of 1805. Pink XII, aka The Lure of the Moonflower, opens in December of 1807. That’s a pretty…

Read MoreIt's Book Plate Season!
Somehow, book release season snuck up on me. I woke up today with the disquieting realization that The Other Daughter comes out in one week and The Lure of the Moonflower, aka Pink XII, in three. Which means I am very behind on bookplates. Would you like a signed bookplate for your copy of The…

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…
Read MorePink XII ARCs!
Can you guess what showed up on my doorstep today? Advance review copies of the final Pink book! It’s both exciting and a little mind-boggling to have the final Pink Carnation book here in physical form (albeit, in rather bland ARC form). I had thought about this book for so long, avoided this book for…

The Lure of the Moonflower, aka Pink XII, is now in the hands of my editor! It was a bittersweet moment, typing the last words of the last ever Pink book this past Friday: There are still revisions to be done, and copyedits, and all the other bits and pieces– but there’s a book. By…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: the Baths at Caldas da Rainha
It’s always very satisfying when geography works in your favor. Guess what happened to be directly on Jack and Jane’s route in The Lure of the Moonflower, just when I (I mean, they) needed it? A historic hot spring. Here is one of the baths as it would have been in the eighteenth century: And…
Read MorePink XII Reader's Guide
Hi, all! As I finish up the final book in the Pink series, The Lure of the Moonflower, the time has come for me to start thinking about the Reader’s Guide. Most of the time, the Reader’s Guide takes the form of a Q&A. In the past, I’ve been questioned by my characters; my characters…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday, Poll, and Give-Away
Isn’t it nice when multiple things roll into one? As I continue to work on The Lure of the Moonflower, Jack and Jane have, somewhat unexpectedly, acquired a donkey. (It was a surprise for the donkey, too.) The donkey needs a name. Henrietta thinks we should call him Donkey-the-donkey. Miles votes for Ginger. Miss Gwen…
