#NewRelease Fury of a Highland Dragon by @coreenecallahan

Growing up as the only girl on all-male hockey team, Coreene Callahan knows a thing or two about tough guys and loves to write characters inspired by them. Call it kismet. Call it payback after years of locker room talk and ice rink antics, but whatever you call it, the action better be heart stopping, the magic electric, and the story wicked, good fun.

After graduating with honors in psyc...<![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]>

Wednesday Regency: Banking

There's a scene in Improper Match where Selina needs to take money from the bank. However, women weren't allowed to do so. Even though two separate banks were owned and very successfully run by women, the laws of the time forbade them from actually retrieving their own money (theirs or their husband's) themselves.

Friday Recipe: Chia Seed Brownies

I took this brownie recipe from All Recipes but instead of the eggs, I substituted chia seeds. Yes, that Ch-ch-ch-chia! Apparently chia seeds are all sorts of delicious and healthy.

Apparently that had more to do with the chewy factor. (He preferred cake-like brownies to the chewy kind even though he's never ha...

Wednesday Regency: Improper Match and the Old Bailey #RegencyRomance

Back in April I wrote a little about the research I did into the Old Baily for this book. Seriously, BBC TV is great for this kind of research! Made it much easier to understand.

Garrow's Law was not only fascinating for its historical and legal drama but so very helpful on the writing front. If you have the time (and can find it, I think I watched it on Amazon Prime) it's worth it. The
I also read a little from Old Baile...
