Weekly 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…
Read MoreMISTLETOE: November 1!
Once all the ghosties and ghoulies and things that go bump in the night demanding Halloween candy are all cleared away, it’s time for Mistletoe! 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…
Read MorePink Carnation Quizzes
Want to test your Pink trivia knowledge? Goodreads has quizzes on each of the Pink books, from Pink to Orchid. You can find them all here. I’ve also linked to them book by book below. Enjoy!
Read More"Yet all shall be forgot…."
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!

Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
I’ve been reading The Collected Ghost Stories of E. F. Benson (yep, the same one who wrote the Mapp & Lucia novels– who knew?). They are excellent. They remind me a lot of one of my old favorites,
Read MoreA Garden of Verse: Contest Winners!
May I just say again how much I loved these contest entries? Forget Augustus, the Pink Carnation should have put all of you on the payroll. In fact, I loved them so much that, as Queen of this site, I arrived at an arbitrary decision: everyone who entered deserves a prize. Unfortunately, I don’t have…
