Napoleonic Quiz
Come join us over at the Regency Reflections blog and try your hand at a quiz on the Napoleonic Wars. (It’s quite easy).
My book Moonlight Masquerade takes place during the last years of the war although most of the action is in England with a little in post-war Paris at the end.

Moonlight Masquerade
This month is the release date for my latest regency romance, Moonlight Masquerade, a story of intrigue and love in that era ripe for romance and risk, the Napoleonic Wars.
Céline Wexham and Rees Phillips, aka Harry MacKinnon, are neither one whom they appear. One suspects the other but they’re quickly drawn to the enemy. How will they overcome the differences that make it impossible to reveal their love?
To read about some of the books that influenced me in writing this spy story, visit Joyce Lamb’s HAPPILY EVER AFTER Blog
Later this month, Regency Reflections blog will run a special week-long contest. Starting March 18 through Friday, March 22, we’ll feature Regency quiz questions at the end of each post. To enter the contest, you’ll need to correctly answer the questions in the comment section below. For every correct answer, your name will be added into the drawing for a $25 Amazon gift card . There will be five questions in all, which means your name can be entered up to five times (if you get all five questions right). The deadline to answer ALL CONTEST QUESTIONS is Saturday, March 23 at midnight.

Regency Reflections’ One-Year Anniversary. Scavenger Hunt, Serial Story and Reader Participation
Regency Reflections Blog, which I joined and helped start last year to promote Christian-themed regency novels, is celebrating its 1-year anniversary this month.
Come join our month-long party. Eight of us writers have contributed a short chapter in a regency novelette called “A Suitable Match” featuring Cressida Blackstone and her three potential suitors.
Cressida’s dilemma is that she must marry within six months (now whittled down to 3 remaining months) in order to inherit her grandmother’s estate.
What will she do? You the reader can help Cressida out by voting on which of the three (very viable) heroes she must choose.
