Mia Marlowe's Blog: A Jabberwocky Review!

“Innocent meets Jaded”~The Madness of Lord Westfall!

I’ve never done this before, but after reading the LoveSavesTheWorld review of The Madness of Lord Westfall, I had to write and ask for permission to repost the review here. I’m always interested in what catches my readers’ eyes, so it was very instructive. Fortunately, Tin gave her permission so here are her beautifully expressed thoughts:

I really enjoyed the first book in Mia Marlowe’s Order of the Muse series, and I’ve been waiting for the second book to come out. When it did, I was a...

Getting to know my characters

The Singular Mr. Sinclairis the working title for Book One inThe House of Lovellseries.

[image error]When I first get to know my characters, I like to meet them as children. So much of who we are is shaped during those early years so it’s important for me to know what happened to them then, whether I share that information with my readers or not. You’re in luck. This time, I’m sharing. So without further ado, let me introduce you to our hero, Lawrence Sinclair:

Prologue

Ware Hall, Wiltshire, 1796

Never Say Never

[image error]As you probably know, I switched from writing historicals to contemporaries a couple of years ago. I turned down a request for more historicals while I concentrated on myColdwater Cove series written under the pen name Lexi Eddings. Then while in contract talks about more stories for my contemporary series, my editor asked if I’d think about writing historicals again, too.

So I thought about it.

I do dearly love the manners, the clothes, thetake-me-awayescape of a historical romance. So I...

Enter the Heroine Stage Right

When I was little girl, I wanted to be a boy scout.

Not a boy, mind. Just a boy scout. After all, they got to go camping and learn to tie knots and all that fun stuff. All we girl scouts got to do was sell those stupid cookies.

The heroine in my new Regency romance, Lady Caroline Lovell, feels a little bit the same. Her brothers all get to complete their educations by going on a Grand Tour. She gets to be “finished” and is trotted out for a Season or two where she’s expected to snag an...

The Singular Mr. Sinclair

I probably won’t get to keep that title. Authors rarely do. But The Singular Mr. Sinclair is the working title for Book One in The House of Lovell series.

When I first get to know my characters, I like to meet them as children. So much of who we are is shaped during those early years so it’s important for me to know what happened to them then, whether I share that information with my readers or not. You’re in luck.

Never Say Never

As you probably know, I switched from writing historicals to contemporaries last year. I turned down a request for more historicals while I concentrated on Coldwater Cove. Then while in contract talks about more stories for my contemporary series, my editor asked if I’d think about writing historicals again, too.

So I thought about it.

I do dearly love the manners, the clothes, the take-me-away escape of a historical romance. So I told my editor that if I could make these new historicals swee...

Writer Re-Boot

I’ve had 30 titles published since 2006. My work has been nominated for a RITA and RT’s Reviewers’ Choice Awards. One of my books even made it into the 2010 Best of PEOPLE magazine! I’ve been blessed with a loyal readership, fabulous reviews and wonderful relationships with my editors and my agent. I’m a lucky girl and I know it.

So why did I decide to change from writing sensual historicals to much sweeter contemporary stories?

It didn’t happen quickly. A couple of years ago, while I was sti...

Join in the Madness…

The release of The Madness of Lord Westfall is almost upon us! I love this story and freely confess that Pierce Langdon is my favorite hero to date. Hope you’ll love him too.

Readers always want to know what a book is about before they commit several hours of their lives to the story, so let me give you a few insights. And since brevity is the soul of wit, I’ll use as few words as possible.

The Madness of Lord Westfall premise in one line:
