Read MoreColin & Eloise Wedding Week: the Dress
When we rejoin Eloise in the first chapter of Pink XII, The Lure of the Moonflower, she’s in the throes of wedding preparations at Colin’s not-so-stately home, Selwick Hall. I hereby declare this… Colin & Eloise Wedding Week. I was just going to do one post, tomorrow, for Teaser Tuesday, but the post grew and…
Read MoreCover Reveal: FALL OF POPPIES
What with Lure of the Moonflower launch, I’m a bit late to the game, but… here it is! The cover of the World War I anthology, Fall of Poppies. Nine authors. Nine novellas. One fateful day in 1918…. I am so very grateful to the wonderful Heather Webb for shepherding this anthology into being– and…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up
Between The Lure of the Moonflower launch and toddler being toddler-ish, I haven’t been able to snatch much reading time this week. I’ve been craving my traditional comfort read: Gothic. (Whenever I’m tired, I revert to old school Gothics with houses on the covers. They’re my happy place.) Fortunately, my wonderful friend Vicki keeps me…
Read MoreMOONFLOWER Launch– Tonight!
You are cordially invited to join me, Sarah MacLean, and Beatriz Williams tonight at WORD Bookstore in Brooklyn to celebrate the launch of the final Pink Carnation book, The Lure of the Moonflower. There will be books. There will be booze. There will be all the flowers. (At least, on my dress. And, presumably, on…
Read MoreOut and About
I’ve been out and about on the internet today! You can find me: — over at USA Today, talking about the various influences that went into writing the Pink books (ahem, Blackadder, ahem); — at Jungle Red Writers, musing about the end of the Pink series and series in general; — at Fresh Fiction, discussing…
Read MorePink XII is Here!
Today is the day! The final Pink book, The Lure of the Moonflower, is in stores. I still can’t quite entirely believe we’re up to Jane’s story. Someone pinch me, please? I’ll be celebrating the release of The Lure of the Moonflower this Thursday, August 6, at WORD Bookstore in Brooklyn, with two of my…
Read MoreTeaser Tuesday– on Monday
Usually, a few months before the book comes out, I post a Colin and Eloise excerpt on Teaser Tuesday. This time around, I couldn’t. Not because the chapter wasn’t there yet. (It was.) The reason I couldn’t share it with you was because the very first line of that very first chapter contained a major…
Read MoreTHE LURE OF THE MOONFLOWER– Tomorrow!
The twelfth and final Pink book comes out tomorrow! All the feels, all the feels. I started the first Pink Carnation book fourteen years ago, in the spring of 2001, at my rickety desk in a tumbledown house in Somerville that I shared with three other grad students. I took that manuscript with me (on…
Read MoreWeekly Reading Round-Up, Ask the Author, and Podcasts, Oh My!
There’s a lot going on right now. You can find me (or, at least, my disembodied voice) over on Smart B*tches Trashy Books today, having a lengthy conversation with the ever fabulous Sarah Wendell about The Other Daughter, the 1920s, shell shock, character construction, Napoleon Bonaparte’s reading habits, The Lure of the Moonflower, Judith McNaught,…
