Weekly Reading Round-Up
I was so enthused by the way everyone chimed in with book recs a couple of weeks ago that I thought it might be nice to make this a regular feature. This way, we can all share what we’ve been reading– and add to my massive “books to buy” list. Here’s what I’ve been reading…
Read MoreCast That Book!
Given that the topic of who should play whom is one that frequently arises, it seemed time to add a new toy– er, diversion– to the Diversions page. Thanks to the fabulous people at Storycasting, one can now not only cast one’s favorite books, but pull up pictures of the actors, compare your cast lists…
Read MoreHappy Coronation Day, King George!
Amanda McCabe’s post on Risky Regencies today reminded me that this is the 248th anniversary of the coronation of George III, which took place on September 22nd, 1761. Doesn’t he look natty in his coronation robes? I’ve taken a proprietary interest in the much-afflicted monarch ever since he played a crucial supporting role in The…

… someone just made a movie about Keats! Click here for pictures and trailer. I just love that they used the word “minx” in describing the heroine. Someone has been reading his Regency romance novels.
Read More"A gentleman does not conga…."
My little sister just sent me this Pride and Prejudice spoof, courtesy of Smart Bitches Trashy Books. Make sure your office door is closed before listening– loud chortles will ensue:
Read MoreMini-Contest!
As I’ve been plotting the next few books in the series (yes, yes, evil laughter here), I’ve been thinking a lot about loose ends. One of the interesting things about series writing is that, book by book, you accumulate a vast collection of bit characters and bystanders, some of whom may crop up again, and…
Read MorePink Carnation Playlist
A couple of weeks ago, I was bopping along on the elliptical instrument of torture at the gym when I Ran by Flock of Seagulls came on the 80’s music channel (listening to peppy music at the gym is the only way I can get myself to go). The lyrics, which I had never really…
