Weekly Reading Round-Up
As those of you who follow me on Facebook know, it’s been a heavy research week for the next stand alone novel. But I did manage to sneak in one novel this week: Donna Thorland’s third American Revolution-set swashbuckler, Mistress Firebrand. It features an intelligent and daring heroine– an aspiring playwright– trying to make her…

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 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…

Hi, all! Apologies for the radio silence– between all the books coming out this summer and a feverish toddler, the week got away from me. (On the calendar, it is Friday. In my head, it is still Tuesday.) This week was mostly about reading for the World War I segment of the next stand alone.…
