On the second day of give aways…
… my author gave to me, four e-copies of The Secret History of the Pink Carnation! Sadly, no poultry here– no partridges or calling birds or French hens or even a chicken (Sally Fitzhugh wouldn’t allow it), but there are some 19th century French spies running around and one modern American grad student who’s rather…
