Teaser Tuesday: From the Archives
As I was cleaning up my Documents cache recently, I came upon a file intriguingly labeled “Eloise for Later Pink”. I do things like that. Every now and then, a bit of dialogue or an idea for a future book will grip me, and I’ll have to scribble it down before I lose it. And…
Read MoreAsk the Author Day!
It’s Ask the Author Day over on the Bubblebath Reader as we wrap up our discussion of The Seduction of the Crimson Rose! Do you have burning questions about Mary, Vaughn, and their assorted hangers-on? Just pop by the the Bubblebath Reader and post your question there. Happy holidays, all!
Read MorePink Carnation Cookery: Holiday Cookies
It’s Pink Carnation cookery time! In honor of the holidays and The Mischief of the Mistletoe, Christine has whipped up something rather more edible than Miss Climpson’s mince pies. (Don’t get Sally started on those.) Instead, we’ve got… holiday cookies! And now over to Christine for a cookie recipe to put us all in a…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: Those Ubiquitous Vaughns
It has been noted that there is a Cecelia Heatherington-Vaughn in The Other Daughter. Not illogically, the question has been asked: is she one of those Vaughns? Yes. Yes, she is. As always, the Vaughns just won’t keep out of the way. They pop up everywhere. In my Kenya book; in my 1927 book; in…
Read MoreIf You Like….
It’s been a while since we’ve had an If You Like here! But, thanks to Betty, we’ve got a holiday themed If You Like this week. Get the gingerbread out and the cider mulling! Here’s Betty’s list of holiday reads: Christmas Mail-Order Brides is a four author collection of women seeking homes in the American…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
It’s been a literary trip down memory lane for me: I’ve gone into full scale comfort read mode (I’m in the final, agonizing phases of those revisions), which means… Scottish women’s fiction. Specifically, Alexandra Raife’s Drumveyn, Belonging, and Wild Highland Home. I adore these books. They’re all very much period pieces at this point (the…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: THE OTHER DAUGHTER
I haven’t shared much about The Other Daughter with you yet, have I? I’m still deep in the middle of revisions, so the book doesn’t feel entirely like a book yet. That’s the odd thing about revisions– once the draft of the manuscript is done, voila! There’s a book. But then along come revisions, and…
Read More'Tis the Season….
You know that it’s almost Christmas when The Mischief of the Mistletoe starts going on sale on both sides of the Pond! Currently, Mistletoe is up for grabs for $6.00 in paperback (down from $15.00) at Amazon.com, and on sale in e-book form for just 85p from Amazon.co.uk. For my UK readers, you can also…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: the 2015 Publication Schedule
2015 is going to be a busy book year for me. Assuming I can get everything I need to write in on time, here’s the 2015 publication schedule: — May 19, 2015: That Summer (paperback reprint, St. Martin’s Press). — June 2, 2015: The Other Daughter, aka Stand Alone #3, aka the 1927 book (hardcover,…
Read MorePink XII has a cover!
The twelfth and final Pink Carnation novel, The Lure of the Moonflower, has a cover! That fort in the background? That’s an actual fort in Portugal that plays a significant role in the book. There’s something a little bittersweet about having the cover of the final Pink book in hand. I began writing the first…
