Happy News!

Last month was the Romance Writers of New Zealand annual conference, which is always great fun—three wonderful days of catching up with other writers (and drinking cocktails).

Imagine my surprise when Primrose and the Dreadful Duke won both the Long Romance of the Year and the Best Overall Romance of the Year awards!

It was a very joyful surprise. I’m delighted that readers love Oliver and Primros Read more of this blog post »

Brothers in Arms is another of my favorite Bujolds. This book is so much fun! It’s set on a futuristic Earth, where great dykes hold back the sea. Miles is trying to juggle his real identity (as a young Barrayaran lieutenant) and his secret identity ...more

Emily Larkin answered Dame de Piques's question: I just finished Octavius and the Perfect Governess and cannot wait for the next Pryor book... But will Bunny Newingham get his own story ? (Pleeeaaase... those little girls deserve a mommy, not just a governess, however perfect !) My plan is to write a short coda for Octavius and the Perfect Governess that will touch on Bunny and the girls. The girls will get a mother. :)

I love this book! There’s magic and monsters, action and adventure, and an amazing kick-butt military commander heroine with a wonderfully flawed second-in-command hero. Oh, and a love triangle. The story of Tevra (the commander) finding Hetwith (the ...more

Quotes by Emily Larkin

“The speeches revealed his public face—articulate, championing an end to slavery—but the notes he’d written in the margins of the essay were more personal, more private. This was the man uncensored. Each jotted word, each underlined sentence, gave her a glimpse of who he was. His thoughts, his opinions, his values—all were laid out for her to see.”
― Emily Larkin, Unmasking Miss Appleby
