5 star review for Covet

A thousand thanks to Silla Beaumont at Just Erotic Romance Reviews for the lovely things she has to say about Covet: A Regency Ménage Tale:

What a fantastic story Ms. Reed has developed! Covet is both sweetly sensual and highly decadent, a truly blissful combination for any fan of MMF ménage stories. While the erotic encounters do take a while to develop between the three main characters, when they happen it is well worth the wait! From frantic and highly charged encounters to slow and methodi...

Aycliff's Vow: A Hellfire Club Erotique Excerpt

Now that Aycliff's Vow is out, The Escape: A Hellfire Club Erotique is free! Yes, I said FREE! So if you haven't read any of the Hellfire Club Erotique series, start with The Escape.

There is a weird caveat to that however. I can't make it free on B&N or Amazon. To make it free on Amazon, I'd have to make The Escape exclusive to Amazon for 90 days then have only 5 days for making it free. I want it free for longer than that. So on B&N and Amazon it's 99¢, the cheapest they'd let me.

Memorial Day and Weekly Goals 21

Three years after the Civil War ended, on May 5, 1868, the head of an organization of Union veterans — the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) — established Decoration Day as a time for the nation to decorate the graves of the war dead with flowers. Maj. Gen. John A. Logan declared that Decoration Day should be observed on May 30. It is believed that date was chosen because
flowers would be in bloom all over the country.



This is from the Military.com site where it talks of Decoration Day (a term I...

Friday Recipe: BBQ

It's that weekend. The commerical (if not traditional) start to the summer holidays (here in the USA at least). It's also a weekend of BBQ. Delicious grilled food of all sorts that melts in your mouth (assuming the person in charge of the grill remembered they were and didn't wander off).

I've previously posted a to-die-for Amazing Whisky Grilled Baby Back Ribs as well as grilled veggies. I thought about the Grilled Bacon Jalapeno Wraps, but decided on chicken. Why? Because it's underrated. Ev...

What's happening today

Today I'm a guest over at Cassandra Carr's talking about my Hellfire Club series.



I hope to have Aycliff's Vow up by next week or the week after, and I hope to finish The (tentatively titled) Moor by the end of the month. May is flying by! So that may be finished in June.

My Little Garden of Patience…
Good morning! Thank you, Kristabel, for hosting me today. I’m really looking forward to interacting with your audience, so feel free to leave me plenty of comments, not only so we can chat a bit, but because there will be a giveaway at the end of my tour. J

When Kristabel first told me I could have free reign over here and would in fact like to see something off-writing, I was very excited indeed. It’s not often we writers get to talk about ourselves so candidly an...

Friday Recipe: Lemon Cupcake with Blackberry Buttercream

Totally stole the picture from the All Recipes site too because the cupcakes look so delicious I needed to share! And boy did they taste delicious, too! Now that fruit season is upon us, most of my recipes will include fresh fruits and veggies. I'll show you pictures of my backyard garden when there are some worth taking.

(Left picture is theirs, right picture is my last cupcake before it disappeared. Didn't grab the camera in time to take pretty pictures of all the cup cakes!)

Prep Time:30 Min...

Wednesday Regency: Brighton Pavilion



Also called the Royal Pavilion, the Prince Regent had the same man who designed Carlton House renovate (enlarge) the structure. What did the existing building look like? Who knows, Brighton was a crumbling fishing town only then starting to rebuild its image as a seaside retreat for the rich and famous. The area wasn't important until George took an interest in it (to take in the waters) and spent a fortune turning it into a gorgeous architectural structure.

Don't believe me? Here's the wiki e...
