Fun With Covers
I don’t have the cover for Pink V– I mean, The Temptation of the Night Jasmine— yet, but Patricia kindly passed along to me this picture of the cover of the large print version of Pink I to add to my cover collection. I’ve always wondered why they chose such a different look from the…

Another week, another Friday, another weekend to indulge in some leisure reading….

Read MoreWebsite Update!
Hi all! I’m absolutely thrilled to announce a groundbreaking change in the Pink Carnation website– I can now post updates myself. I know this doesn’t sound like such a huge deal, but, being the complete techno-disaster that I am, up till now every single update had to go through my webmistress (a lady of immense…
