New Release Spotlight: Pantaloons and Petticoats by Ellie Thomas
Thanks, lovely Nell, for having me as your guest again! I’m Ellie, and I write MM Historical Romance novellas. I’m here today to chat about my new story, Pantaloons and Petticoats, currently in the 20% new release sale at JMS Book until November 17th.

I’m Ofelia Gränd, and I’m your event planner.
Are you all ready for tonight? I don’t think you need anything other than warm clothes (if you’re in the northern hemisphere) and proper shoes. One should always have proper shoes for the occasion. Wine might help too. I know there’s a workday for many of you tomorrow, but wine helps loosen some of the inhibitions, which might be good for the night. No, it’s not ...
