There be readers out there

Hello, friends. I'm very close to being able to share with you the UK cover of the third Mary Quinn novel, The Traitor and the Tunnel. So close. It's gorgeous, as ever, and the suspense is killing me.

Ahem. In the meantime, I can show you a shot of The Body at the Tower and one of its sterner critics:

I suspect Philipp may have to ask ever so nicely if he wants his book back.

And this week I got my first-ever piece of old-fashioned, pen-and-ink fan mail! Thanks, Gabriella, and I'll write back very soon.

Next week, I'll talk about researching the Agency novels and share with you a list of great Victorian resources. Until then!
