New publication!

Hi everyone, thanks so much for following me! It's only taken, um, a few years but I finally have my author profile up.

I'm very happy to announce that my second book has just been published. If you enjoyed Love in Touch, be sure to check out The Adventures of Tom Finch, Gentleman. Here's a quick description:

London, 1735. Covent Garden offers a world of pleasures and diversions, even for a blind man. Tom Finch approaches life with boundless good cheer and resilience, whether he’s pursuing a musical career or pursuing women. And as for his blindness, to him it’s merely an inconvenience. Join Tom for a picaresque romp through high and low Georgian society among rakes, rovers, thieving whores and demireps, highway robbers, bigamists, and duelists, bisexual opera divas, castrati, mollies, and cross-dressers, lecherous aristocrats, and prim ladies. This meticulously researched, witty and lively tale overturns stereotypes about disability and revels in the spectacle and excitement of 18th century opera.
