Live and in person in Concord, Massachusetts

For the first time in what feels like forever, I’ll be doing a live event, along with a stellar group of romance writers.

• RomCon(cord) Romance Festival

• Concord Free Public Library

• Concord, Massachusetts

• Saturday 24 September

• 10AM - 3PM

You can register and look at a map by clicking on this link. You can check out the schedule by clicking on this link.

I do hope to see you there.

Meanwhile, please stay tuned for more events.

P.S. And yes, I am still working on the third Difficult Dukes book, and yes, the characters are being more cooperative. But they are not in a hurry, so I must beg your patience. Again. Some more.

The Two Nerdy History Girls: Once More, with Feeling

Meena Jain, Library Director of the The Ashland Public Library, has invited Susan Holloway Scott and me to hold forth, once again. While the Two Nerdy History Girls blog is still there—and yes, I do go back to avoid reinventing the wheel on some topics—we stopped posting a few years ago. However, the historical nerdiness continues, and we expect to have plenty to talk about.

This will happen virtually

Wednesday 15 June at 7PM

Please register here to receive the zoom link and join the fun:

Program sponsored by the Friends of the Ashland Public Library and in partnership with the Medway Public Library. 

Miss Wonderful eBook now $1.99

Miss Wonderful, which starts my Carsington Brothers series, was my first book after a hiatus of several years It was a great joy to return to romance writing with a love story set in Derbyshire, home of the Peak (what we now call the Peak District), and a place I had visited a few years earlier. Plot elements as well as my hero were inspired by actual events, persons, and places, a great satisfaction to my nerdy history mind.

Readers of Pride and Prejudice will remember that Elizabeth Bennett’s planned trip to the Lake District was curtailed. Instead, she went to Derbyshire, where she discovered Mr. Darcy’s beautiful house and estate. There’s a great deal more to Derbyshire’s beauties* and potential for romance, as my book, I hope, will make clear.

*And yes, the spelling is “Tor,” but spelling in the early 1800s was a little erratic.
