The Other Daughter
It'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 MoreTHE OTHER DAUGHTER Audio
The Other Daughter audio book was chosen by Audible as one of their top eight picks for July! It’s pretty amazing to be on a list with Harper Lee. If you’d like to listen to an excerpt from the audio book, here is a snippet, courtesy of the wonderful folks at Macmillan Audio. The reader…
Read MoreTeaser 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.

But it wasn’t. Because Rachel Woodley, my heroine, goes through a number of metamorphoses over the course of the book. Here’s Rachel…

Read MoreTHE OTHER DAUGHTER Contest
There’s only a month and a week left until The Other Daughter comes out! (Why is it that “a month and a week” sounds so much less poetical than “a month and a day”?) In the meantime, I have one last ARC of The Other Daughter to give away. Here’s the official blurb: Raised in…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: the "voice" of THE OTHER DAUGHTER
There are times when writing can be a bit like acting. You need to get into the characters’ heads, experience the world as they experience it, speak as they speak. For The Other Daughter, speaking as they speak was the big challenge for me. There’s such a unique tone to the 1920s, and particularly to…
