Mistletoe Monday Winner
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…

Read MoreToronto– Take Two
To anyone who came out to B Espresso Bar today, I apologize.

But…

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 MoreTeaser Tuesday: Honorable Mentions
Last week, we explored a gallery of the historical characters who show up in The Garden Intrigue. There are also a whole bunch of real people who are mentioned but never actually put in an appearance. Just so you know who the characters are talking about…. James Monroe American Envoy to France from 1794 to…
