Silk Is For Seduction audio edition
I promised to leave you alone, but this just came up, and I want my blog subscribers to hear about deals first. I’ll keep it short.
For the next couple of weeks, you can download the audio edition of Silk Is For Seduction, the first Dressmakers book, for $4.99. The bargain price is available from Chirp audio. The easy way to do it is to follow this link.
So there are these long stretches of time when you don’t hear from me . . . and then I inundate you. This ought to be the last one for a while at least.
Our most recent Two Nerdy History Girls chat is now online. You can watch it on YouTube here.
Susan Holloway Scott and I had a wonderful time—again—chatting with Meena Jain and readers about nerdy historical matters. We talked about 18th and 19th century travel quite a bit, and the dangers and discomforts thereof. I also mentioned a couple of nerdy history resources I’ve made frequent use of.
The Epicure’s Almanack: Eating and Drinking in Regency London, ed. Janet Ing Freeman. This is one of the books I might never have found on my own, so I’m grateful to author Candice Hern for calling my attention to it. If you don’t follow Candice on Facebook, you might want to start. She offers all kinds of fascinating historical material, including items from her amazing collection.
Paterson’s Roads (yes, that’s the correct spelling). Though I managed to get my hands on a crumbling 1830s edition, you will find many editions online. You can read an interesting blog post about it here at the Public Domain website.

Meena Jain has very kindly invited the Two Nerdy History Girls for a return engagement on 17 June at 7pm.
She’s also invited me to join—this time in person—another cast of stellar authors for a RomCon in the spring.
Romancing New England RomCon 2024 - Romance Authors Festival at the Ashland Public Library, Ashland Massachusetts, on Saturday 18 May from 10-4pm
If you’re in the area, I hope you’ll attend. We have fewer opportunities to talk to readers in person these days, and Meena Jain and her team organize an especially enjoyable event.
More official posts will appear as we draw closer to the dates.
P.S. And for all the kind readers who signed up for this blog after the 2NHG chat: Due to deadline and then a flurry of catchup activity, combined with my own technological incompetence, I wasn’t able to update the subscribers list until today. Some of you may want to check out the blog post just before this one, wherein the fate of the third Difficult Dukes book is revealed.
It gives me very great pleasure to report that the UK/Australia/New Zealand Kindle edition of Ten Things I Hate About the Duke is now available. Other retailers will follow, probably within 72 hours.
Regarding the audio editions: My agents are working on this and I should have details soon.
Thank you for your patience. We’ll try to do better in future.
