AN IMPROPER LOVER is set in Regency England
ALMACKS
Ladies of Regency England had little control of their lives. The rules of ton were strict. They attended balls and routs in private houses or Almack's Assembly Rooms in King Street off St. James's Street. In Almacks however, a committee of seven high-born ladies enjoyed absolute authority. Only they could grant vouchers for admission to the subscription balls on Wednesday evenings. No one could enter without their approval. Even the Duke of Wellington was turned away when dressed inapp...
Excerpt from IF YOU DARE
Lucy rolled over to reach out for Steve. She touched the empty
opposite pillow. He had left for his run. She had slept in and it was late.
She buried her nose in his pillow as images of the previous night filled
her mind. Stretching lazily, she thought of how the wine released a
primitive abandon to their lovemaking. Afterwards, she had fallen
asleep on the sofa watching a movie with her head in Steve's lap, and
woken around midnight. Sleepily preparing for bed, they'd begun to

Excerpt from RULES OF CONDUCT
Viola slept soundly. It was not until the dawn's light filtered through
the lace curtain of the attic window that she woke and wriggled her toes,
luxuriating in the comfort and warmth of the feather bed.
For a brief moment, she felt happy, but the worry of her lost memory
soon returned. This ominous presence in her mind was like a veil which
hid the past from view, and she was helpless to do anything but wait for
it to lift.
It was still very early. The cock crowed from the barnyard of the

Excerpt from NIGHT GARDEN
They walked down another corridor. Laura began to worry that she might easily get lost,
when Dorcus paused before a door. They entered a large, lofty room. Against one wall sat a
four-poster bed dressed with gold brocade silk bed hangings, a washstand and basin nearby. A
tapestry chair with carved feet perched beside a writing desk near the window. A French
armoire stood in a corner, its mahogany wood gleaming. A richly-colored Oriental rug covered
the floor and a gilt mirror hung over the firepla...

Excerpt from AN IMPROPER LOVER
When the tea arrived, Harriett left her parents to their
attempts at a civil conversation and wandered out into the
grounds. She had played here as a child when Aunt Elizabeth
was alive. It had been a very lively place then. She wandered
along a path through the trees dressed in their summer green,
recalling how she'd made up stories and narrated them to an
audience of birds. A stately old oak tree she used to climb as a
child caught her attention. She paused, remembering that
Pendleton lay on a rise...

RESULTS OF POLL Hero or Heroine? which pov do you prefer in the first chapter?
I found the results of my poll interesting. Most of the readers who took it preferred the male point of view.
Great Writing advice from Donald Maass
The breakout novelist does not merely set a scene; she unveils a unique place, one resonant with a sense of time, woven through with social threads and full of the destinies the universe has in store for us all. She does not merely describe a setting, she builds a world. She then sets her characters free in that world to experience all it has to offer. Writing the Breakout Novel
