Survey Results and Promises

Tuesday, June 19th, 2012

Thank you so much to the literally dozens of people who are submitting responses to my Demon Hunter & Baby survey every DAY. I never expected when we posted the survey to get so many votes, but I am having SO much fun reading everyone’s answers. Seriously. It’s one of those facts of being an […]

Updates!

Tuesday, June 12th, 2012

I’ve had many emails asking me about paperback versions of my books, inquiring when Georgiana Darcy’s Diary and my other series will be available in paperback as well as e-book form. And now I’m so excited to announce that–thanks to Mr. (amazingly awesome) Husband–the paperbacks now are available. Go to Amazon or –especially for non-US […]

Dolly Donations

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

My poor blog. 99% of the time, it sits here, staring at me plaintively, daring me to dream of a time when I won’t feel like I’m drowning in my life and have time to update it. Don’t get me wrong, it’s a happy kind of drowning, but . . . However, I wanted to […]

Thank you so much to everyone who has written to me asking when London Calling, the sequel to Susanna and the Spy, will be available!

A Quick Note

Thursday, June 30th, 2011

So, I don’t normally google-stalkerishly track down every mention of my books on line (I’m not that author! I swear!) But I’ve just happened to bump into a couple of reviews of Georgiana that wished there were more of the story or that some of the threads left semi-hanging at the end were tied up […]

Spencers, Pelisses, and Reticules: the Fashions of Jane Austen’s World

Sunday, June 12th, 2011

One quick note before I begin: for anyone wanting to know more about the subject of my last post–the experiences of the women who lived with and followed the British Army during the Napoleonic Wars–I can recommend Following the Drum, by Annabel Venning. The book isn’t exclusively about the Regency era, but it’s still an […]

Following the Drum: Women in Wellington’s Army

Tuesday, June 7th, 2011

One of my favorite aspects of writing historical fiction is the research. Learning the details of daily life in bygone eras, how men and women dressed, what they ate, how they traveled and what books they might have read. Most of all, though, I love reading through the primary sources–diaries, letters, cookbooks, contemporary accounts–and actually […]

Mary Stewart

Sunday, May 29th, 2011

Last October, Sophie Masson, a fellow contributor of mine over at Writer Unboxed, wrote a blog post in praise of Mary Stewart, who wrote romantic suspense–some of the finest and most beautifully written romantic suspense of all time, I would say–during the 1960′s and 70′s. Her books include: This Rough Magic; The Ivy Tree; My […]

The Trouble With Language Acquisition

Monday, May 16th, 2011

So despite having a fair number of ‘bad words’ in my books (98% of my male characters are warriors, and I just couldn’t make myself realistically imagine their speech patters as squeaky-clean) I don’t use swear words myself. Really not ever. Not that I mean this as a holier-than-thou kind of statement, because it’s not […]

Free at Last

Saturday, May 14th, 2011

Chances are if you’re looking at my blog, you’ve already realized that you can download Dawn of Avalon, my short-story prequel to the Twilight of Avalon trilogy, right here on my website for free. But just in case anyone would like it delivered for free right to their Kindle/iPhone/iPad/whatever, Amazon has just made it free […]
