Teaser Tuesdays
Teaser Tuesday: Website
There are going to be some additions here on the site, coming rather shortly. As you may have noticed, the current site is rather… Pink. Since I’ll be writing some non-Pink books (starting with Ashford Park, which comes out in early 2013), I’m going to be adding a whole new segment to the site for…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: ASHFORD PARK
The 1920s book has a name! It is now officially Ashford Park. Or, as my little sister likes to put it, “Julian Fellowes wants his title back”. Goodness only knows, I tried to find other things to call the book. I toyed with deep titles, simple titles, clever titles, long titles. No matter what, all…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: Pink Novellas
Or do I mean novellae? Many of you have asked me whether Bunny & Biscuits: A Very Dorrington Valentine’s Day is going to be available on Kindle and Nook a la Ivy & Intrigue. The short answer is, not just yet. Since I wrote Bunny & Biscuits in some haste, it isn’t everything I want…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: Whither Pink?
Now that I’m (momentarily) home from book tour, this seemed like a good time to unveil my Grand Plan for the rest of the series. As many of you know, the initial plan for the next book, Pink X, involved Tommy Fluellen (Robert’s best friend from The Temptation of the Night Jasmine), Kat Reid (Alex…

Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: "Garden" Fashion
Last week, I posted on History Hoydens about the visual inspiration for The Garden Intrigue, the grounds of Malmaison. On Facebook recently, I was asked to post about a different sort of visual inspiration: my heroine’s clothing. Emma, the heroine of The Garden Intrigue, is at the forefront of the Paris fashion scene. Like her…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: A Holiday Gift
Remember that old Contest page where I used to have contests? The one that was abandoned for the convenience of holding contests right here on the News page? Well, I’m reviving it for a very special holiday contest. Starting at some point next week (I’ll let you know once it’s up), I’ll be opening the…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: Lord Vaughn Returns!
Well, not exactly. You may have noticed that my fictional worlds tend to intertwine. No matter how hard I try to write something unrelated, it invariably links back to Pink, such as “A Night at Northanger”, which was meant to be a one-off– until I decided I liked the heroine so much that I had…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: Jane Austen Made Me Do It
Jane Austen Made Me Do It, an Austen-inspired short story anthology, arrives in stores today! In honor of the JAMMDI release, I’ve posted some Q&A I did for the JAMMDI “extra” portions below. Q. How did Jane Austen make you do it? What inspired you to join this anthology? Really, Laurel Ann Nattress made me…
