I'm new to your book and wanted to know where you would recommend starting. Are your different series connected in any way? Thanks!

Hi Cherie:
So sorry this is late, but I just saw your question!
I write 3 different levels of *steam* so that is usually how I break up my books.
While I have open door scenes in all my stories, I'd have to say that THE OUTCASTS & REBELS OF THE TON are probably the mildest (although that is relative, LOL)
Those two series are also interconnected. I would read THE OUTCASTS and then REBELS OF THE TON. That will give you the best experience, IMO.
THE ACADEMY OF LOVE is a tiny bit spicier and it is a self-contained series. These books stand alone really well. There are currently 5 of the 7 planned out, so a nice little binge waiting to happen.
THE MASQUERADERS trilogy is complete and it is also spicy with more intense themes. These stories are best read in order as the characters are interconnected pretty tightly. Especially the heroes from books 1 and 3.
THE BELLAMY SISTERS this is a 5 (maybe 6) book series that has 1 book out, PHOEBE, and one out in a few days, HYACINTH. It is my first family series and I really, really like it. It was inspired by Balogh's BEDWYN series and now I'm crazy about writing siblings. It has a similar steam level to the series above
THE SEDUCERS is a hot trilogy that focuses on sex trade workers (i.e. prostitutes) from the Regency Era. This has serious themes and lots of steam. This series is probably my most polarizing. If you like pretty, frilly, sunny Regencies in ballrooms with dukes, you won't like these.
VICTORIAN DECADENCE
This is my erotic Victorian romance series. These books are hot and break just about every taboo there is. They are intense and not for everyone. They aren't porn and they have received 2 reviews from Publishers Weekly, which is--frankly--very flattering because they don't usually review erotic books. That said, proceed with caution. If you are easily triggered, just avoid them entirely.
I also write historical mystery under S.M. Goodwin, if you read that genre.
The only connected series are the first 2 I mention.
So, although I was very late to answer, I hope this was helpful? I love hearing from readers and am a lot quicker to return emails if you have any other questions: minervaspencerauthor@gmail.com
Happy reading!

You should fire your cover designer. He/She has illustrated an 1860s dress on a so-called Regency heroine (1812-1824). Don't these artists even LOOK ONLINE at what was being worn during the time of the story? NO, they do NOT, they are too stupid and arrogant to check anything! Look up Regency or Empire clothing on Google and see what they REALLY wore! THEN fire your artist!
