Lovey Dovey Books review
Another early review–Lovey Dovey Books gives Lord of Secrets 5 doves out of 5. “The suspense of discovering David’s dark secrets make the romance that much sweeter, because through all the drama and emotional distress, readers will come to understand and truly care for these characters.”

Early Lord of Secrets Review
Victoria Janssen of Heroes and Heartbreakers wrote a lovely, thoughtful “first look” review of Lord of Secrets, calling it “an absorbing read.”

The Fallen Woman
“Past and Present I” by Victorian artist Augustus Leopold Egg shows the tragic circumstances sure to follow (according to 19th century thinking, anyway) if a woman failed to remain chaste.
Why the double standard? Today I’m at Romancing the Past, discussing the stigma associated during the 19th century with being a fallen woman.

Undertaker’s Mutes (and a little Lord of Secrets news)
The undertaker’s mute was a hired mourner who lent an appropriately gloomy air to funeral proceedings.
Today I’m at Romancing the Past, discussing the curious 19th century occupation of undertaker’s mute.Click here to jump to the post.
Also, if you’re one of NetGalley’s “professional readers,” my upcoming release Lord of Secrets is now available for review on the NetGalley site. Click here to request an advance copy.

Book release news
I’ve had two pieces of good news this month regarding the release of my books.
First, my March 25 release, Lord of Secrets, will be available not only as an e-book, but also as an audiobook. Look for it on Audible.com.
Second, A Tryst With Trouble–the book that was supposed to be released by Dorchester, but with the demise of that publisher became a Carina Press title–has a scheduled release date of September 23, 2013.
That means I’ll have two regencies out this year. I hope you enjoy them!

The Patron Saint of Virgins
St. Agnes, by the 17th century artist Massimo Stanzione, shows the Roman saint with a lamb, her iconographic symbol.
Today, just in time for St. Agnes’s Eve, I’m at Romancing the Past, discussing St. Agnes: how she became the patron saint of virgins, and the rituals an unmarried girl can follow on the eve of St. Agnes’s Day if she hopes to see a vision of her future husband.Click here to jump to the post.
