Mistletoe Monday
It’s hard to imagine what could top the Pink Carnation meets Nancy Drew, via last week’s Mistletoe Monday. But thinking of Nancy Drew got me thinking about the books or series that leave an impression. You may not have read them for years, but they still resonate. For me, those included Nancy Drew, L.M. Montgomery’s…

I had a lot of time to read on planes last weekend. Okay, I had a lot of time to read on a plane last weekend. Here’s what I had with me: — Julia Quinn, Just Like Heaven I’m a big Julia Quinn fan from way back. (I found her before the Bridgertons!) As many…

Thanks, all, for the brilliant character meet-ups! I’m not sure which scares me more: the Dowager Duchess of Dovedale versus Lady Bracknell, Henrietta joining forces with Emma, or Amy competing with Nancy Drew. The winner, chosen entirely at random, is… Anne K! (Comment #11). Congrats, Anne! Just email me and let me know where to…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday: Pink X
You know how I say not to trust what I post in advance because my plots tend to change on me? Well, sometimes the whole book changes on me. This has happened twice before. The first time was in 2006 with Pink IV. I had Charlotte’s story all plotted out and then Mary and Vaughn…

Happy Monday, all! There wound up being a rather ridiculous travel glitch over the weekend, but the silver lining– since there’s always a silver lining– was a conversation over on my Facebook author page, in which Miss Gwen somehow wound up going head to head against Dr. Who, parasol versus sonic screwdriver. I’m still not…

We’re going to kick off with cocktails and then each read from our RITA-nominated novels: Cara’s To Surrender to a Rogue, Sarah’s…
Read MoreToronto– Take Two
To anyone who came out to B Espresso Bar today, I apologize. Due to an unforeseen sketch comedy routine involving a plane that kept going back to the gate (will it fly? will it not fly? stay tuned for our thrilling conclusion!), I wound up making it into Toronto several hours later than planned. But…

Based on the recommendations of many here, the big read for the week was Game of Thrones. I was impressed by the author’s ability to juggle multiple interweaving plot threads so smoothly. And I did not expect the ending of Book I. Right now, I’m re-reading an old favorite, Elizabeth Peters’ Die for Love. After…
Read MoreToronto on Friday
Hi, all! I’m going to be in Toronto this Friday (which is either tomorrow or today, depending on when you’re reading this post). I’m not doing any official events, but I will be hanging out at the B Expresso Bar in the Royal Conservatory Atrium at 273 Bloor Street from 4:30 until 5:30. I’ll be…
