Happy Halloween!
To everyone who was pummeled by this weekend’s blizzard, I hope you’re staying warm and dry. A white Christmas is one thing; a white Halloween quite another! In honor of Halloween, I’ve reproduced a blog post from the vault, from October of 2007: The Costume Less Traveled. Because, let’s face it, my costumes were always…
Read More"Pure Regency delight…"
Pink I got a shout-out in the “Great Reads” section of today’s Shelf Awareness! Shelf Awareness calls The Secret History of the Pink Carnation “pure Regency delight”. Thank you!!
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
The big reads for the week, of course, were Kristan Higgins’ Until There Was You (which I liked even better than My One and Only) and Tasha Alexander’s A Crimson Warning, her latest Lady Emily mystery. For those of you who haven’t read Tasha before, a good place to start is with her first Lady…

The Mischief of the Mistletoe comes out in paperback next Tuesday, November 1. If you’re in the New York area, come join me, Tasha Alexander and Deanna Raybourn at 6:30…

And I nearly forgot (a) that it’s the 596th anniversary of Agincourt, and (b) that three of my friends have book launches today! Huzzah for Tasha Alexander’s A Crimson Warning, Kristan Higgins’ Until There Was You, and Cara Elliott’s Too Wicked to Wed. Gentlemen in England now abed shall call themselves accurs’d that they went…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: Lord Vaughn Returns!
Well, not exactly. You may have noticed that my fictional worlds tend to intertwine. No matter how hard I try to write something unrelated, it invariably links back to Pink, such as “A Night at Northanger”, which was meant to be a one-off– until I decided I liked the heroine so much that I had…
Read MoreIf You Like….
I have a copy of the new Kristan Higgins book, Until There Was You! (Yes, there is an implied gloat in that statement.) But since her books only come out once a year, it’s time to put our heads together and try to find some functional equivalents. It’s not easy, but here’s my stab at…
Read MoreAn Excellent Weekend for ORCHID!
On Friday night, The Orchid Affair won the Golden Leaf award for best historical romance! (That’s me with my very unleaf-like Leaf, below.) To make it an even better weekend for Orchid, it was also yesterday’s Fresh Fiction Fresh Pick. Huzzah!
