Blog Tour: Third Time's the Charm?
Today I’m appearing on not one, not two, but three blogs. I’m not sure if I’m channeling the Count who Counts here– three! three blogs!– or Monty Python’s Search for the Holy Grail, in which not one blog shall you count, or two, but three. Anyway, all three feature brand new Q&As (with some rather…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
It’s been a week of re-reads for me, including some that go way back. In the less way back category, I went on a Susan Elizabeth Phillips kick. There’s something about her contemporary romances that spells “summer reading” for me. Maybe because so many of them take place during the summer? This time around, I…

I cannot tell you how amused I was by the Pink Carnation Barbie descriptions– or how much I wish that these were real. So, here’s the question: which of these Pink Carnation Barbies (featured below) would you choose? List your top three in order of preference in the Comments section below and I’ll choose one…

Read MorePraise for PURPLE PLUMERIA
The early reviews are starting to come in for The Passion of the Purple Plumeria (aka Pink X)– and Miss Gwen is gloating. Here’s the verdict: Library Journal (starred review): “This tenth bloom to be added to Willig’s popular series is just as fresh and satisfying as any of the other flowers in the best…
Read MoreBook Tour: this time, it's virtual.
I’m on tour! Virtually, that is. For the next few weeks, I’ll be racketing about from blog to blog, with questions and guests posts and excerpts, oh my. Officially, this is an Ashford Affair tour, but I’d say about half of the questions so far have been about Pink, so it’s really a hybrid of…
Read MoreMore ASHFORD Abroad!
In late breaking news, I’ve just learned that The Ashford Affair— aka Ashford Park— will be making its grand appearance in Italy this Friday, June 28th. Ashford will be available in Italian in both hardcover and e-book. Right now, you can find Ashford in Catalan, Italian, Polish, and Spanish. The German edition of Ashford is…

Lady B is putting together her Rustication Reading List. Even if she isn’t quite sure whether she’s rusticating in Hertfordshire, Herefordshire, or Hampshire. Where one presumes that hurricanes hardly ever happen?

Here’s what I’ve been reading this week: — Susanna Kearsley, The Firebird. I’ve been a fan of Susanna Kearsley ever since I stumbled upon Season of Storms in a B&N in Boston back in 2001. For those of you who follow Kearsley, The Firebird manages to link two of her previous books: my all time…
Read MoreContest!
This post over on SBTB, about Jude Deveraux romance novel Barbies, absolutely cracked me up the other day. It also got me thinking…. If there were Pink Carnation Barbies, what would they look like? Miss Gwen, of course, would come with a purple parasol. As Jessica pointed out on Facebook, the Mary Alsworthy Barbie would…
