A Haberdashers Holiday

The Haberdashers books have never had a booklaunch party, so I’m thinking of doing something different. A Haberdashers Holiday, something of a summer house party (except not at my house, because it’s not big enough) where we all drink tea, eat delightful foods, talk about history and romance, and maybe even dress up as our favorite Regency characters (totally optional). If it goes well I will probably make this an annual thing. Because there’s nothing I love better than a good (and geeky) par...

For Valentine’s Day Scorching Book Reviews has invited us to share thoughts about “Romance MY Way.” What are my favorite romance tropes? Wow. That’s a tough question to answer! I read, and enjoy, all sorts of things. I read everything from the very sweet to the very spicy, from historical to futuristic. But if I were marooned on a desert island and could o...

Have Yourself a Reading Little Christmas

[cross posted in All Places Sue]

Dress for Success

“There is only one success: to be able to spend life in your own way and not to give others absurd maddening claims upon it.” ~ Christopher Morley

 As any career guide will tell you, one of the first things to do when choosing a career path is invest in appropriate clothing. Now that it looks like I can plan on making the career change from accounting to writing in the next year or so I need to consider the "look" my new role requires.

It's possible I've never been more excited.

Opening Letter for Flapper Girl (A Story of the Jazz Age)

Was chatting with a twitter friend (@tiffanyreisz) about how reading biographies of people in other eras is a great reminder that everyone is always living in what they consider to be the most modern age. And that reminded me of this opening letter for my upcoming Jazz Age series. Really looking forward to putting this one together.

To my kind reader,
These are the stories I remember, and after telling them for years some of y'all convinced me to write them down. The thing to know, like I alway...

A friend brought me this article at work (where it now hangs on my door) In a Plot Twist: Scholars Get Serious About Romance Novels. Yes, that link goes to The Chronicle of Higher Education. Well dang. Can't decide this means that I entered the market at just the right, or just the wrong, time.
