Progress Update + A Peek at What’s Coming Next
Hi everyone! I have some fun writing news to share.
I just finished inputting edits from my editor for Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 7: Spinster. However — in true writer fashion — we caught one little loose thread that needs tying up. So, I’ll be adding a short scene to fully wrap up the story. After that, the book will be fully edited, proofread, and ready!
What’s next? I’ll be diving into Lady Wynwood’s Spies, Volume 8: Traitor. I had already written a few chapters before finishing Volume 7, but since I made a few tweaks during the editing process, I’ll be revising those chapters to make sure everything flows smoothly. I also have a bit more research to finish before I can fully immerse myself in Volume 8.
Thank you so much for following along on this journey! And if you’d like to get behind-the-scenes updates, early chapters, and bonus content, I post regularly on Patreon:

Behind the Scenes in my Christian Regency Romance: the Perfume in "Bidding on Treason"
There are two fictional perfumes mentioned in my Lady Wynwood’s Spies prequel novelette, “Bidding on Treason,” and I actually had a lot of fun figuring out what they were.Mrs. Whichard’s expensive French perfume Enchanté Nocturne is based off of Christian Dior Poison. It has the following notes:
Top Notes: Plum, wild berries, anise
Middle Notes: Jasmine, incense, cinnamon, honey, rose
Base Notes: Vetiver, musk, sandalwood, cedar, amber
Mrs. Whichard’s perfume is obviously much less complex, but it still has the plum, cinnamon, and cedarwood notes from Poison.
The perfume Melinda suggests for Lena, Sauge Marine (Marine Sage) is based off of Jo Malone London's Wood Sage & Sea Salt. It has the following notes:
Top notes: Ambrette Seeds, Sea Salt
Middle note: Sage
Base notes: Red Algae, Grapefruit
I liked how it evoked the wildness of the sea, the quiet of the wilderness, and the freshness of grapefruit, reflecting Lena’s connection to nature and her desire for freedom.
Do any of you like perfumes? I don’t often wear them because of my allergies, but I like spraying a handkerchief or a sachet and sticking it in my clothes drawers.

Free Regency Christian Romance Ebook – Lissa and the Spy
My Lady Wynwood’s Spies novella, Lissa and the Spy, was in the multi-author anthology, Once Upon a Courtship, which is now unpublished.
Now that I have the rights back, I’ll be publishing it on Amazon, although I’m not sure yet when I’ll be doing that. In the meantime, I’m giving away Lissa and the Spy ebook FREE to my newsletter subscribers!
What’s it about?
Lissa and the Spy
A Christian Regency Romantic Suspense novella in the Lady Wynwood’s Spies series
In the opulent ballrooms of Regency-era London, Miss Lissa Gardinier struggles through her second Season with a singular goal: marriage to escape her mother's constant criticism. So she represses her cheeky remarks behind a quiet, innocent facade, but combined with her plain face, it only serves to make her uninteresting to potential suitors.
It is her very unpopularity that enables her to notice the enigmatic Lord Jeremy Stoude and set in motion a chance encounter. An overheard conversation and faux dialogue later, she finds herself entangled in Jeremy’s covert undertakings. Lissa resists the temptation to pry, finding delight in their mysterious friendship.
Yet the world Jeremy inhabits is one of secrets and subterfuge, and he cannot afford to be distracted by Lissa’s charming smile and unflappable demeanor. Lissa’s family dynamics grow increasingly complicated with a sister harboring her own desires for the eligible Lord Stoude, and a formidable rival—Lady Charline Halberstam—making her intentions clear.
As danger stalks them and true feelings come to light, can Lissa and Jeremy navigate the labyrinth of society’s expectations and their own insecurities to find love?
Lissa and the Spy offers readers an intoxicating blend of romance, suspense, and wit, set against the glittering backdrop of Regency London. Perfect for those who love their historical fiction laced with a dash of intrigue and a sprinkle of humor.
