News and Events:
Lady Rosamund and the Horned God (book 2 in the Rosie and McBrae Mysteries) is up for pre-order now and will release on April 20th! Meanwhile, I'm hard at work on book 3, and so far I have no idea who the murderer is. There are quite a few suspects, but none of them feels quite right for the role. Hmm....
Lord Bellweather's Lady, a Magical Regency, is now out! The hero is half-fairy and quite a challenge for the beleaguered heroine, but she proves her mettle in the end. (For those who enjoyed Lady of the Flames, it's a very loosely connected sequel.)
His Lordship's Incorrigible Wife, a sequel to The Smuggler's Escape, will be out this year, most likely in June. Also,
I am working on another Christmas novella in the same series for an anthology which will release in the fall.
The 13-author anthology, Winter Wishes, is not longer available, but my story, A Kiss Upon the Wind, is now available on its own. (Buy links are on both the home page and the book page.) Why is Lady Isolde’s father prepared to pay £10,000 to marry her off for the third time? Find the answer to this and other intriguing questions in A Kiss Upon the Wind!
My standalone Regency romance, The Smuggler's Escape, is about a lady smuggler in the southeast of England. It's a revised version of a book I wrote years ago. After writing several books with love scenes in them, I got tired of writing those scenes -- sort of a 'been there, written that', like having a car chase in every book. But anyway, when I wrote the scenes in the smuggler book, I was in my love scenes heyday, so to speak, and I'm enjoying reading what I wrote then and hope you will too. There's also lots of adventure and strife -- fun to write and hopefully suspenseful to read.
My short story, "The Last Page", was included in the anthology Crime Travel, which was released December 8th, Pretend to be a Time Traveler Day. (I'm likely to do that any day, but it's cool that there's an actual day assigned to it.) The stories are all about crime and time travel -- a fun combo, don't you think? It certainly inspired me to write one. :)
My two novellas, The Reluctant Seductress and Love at First Dance, which were previously published in separate anthologies, are now available together as Yuletide Nights. Actually, there are four novellas in this particular story universe. The other two were published years ago -- Under a Christmas Spell and Under a New Year's Enchantment. All four books have characters who are my version of incubus or succubus -- not demons, but people who have an uncanny talent for sending erotic dreams. During the Napoleonic Wars, they were harnessed as spies to use this talent, whether they wanted to or not. Now the war is over and they are trying to adjust to ordinary life again. Except that they're not ordinary at all...

HEART OF CONSTANTINE was the WINNER of the HOLT Medallion Contest, Paranormal Category, in 2014. This award, given by Virginia Romance Writers, is a huge honor. I was thrilled then, still am, and always will be. (That’s why this announcement never goes away.)
