Yay! Publication of The Viscount's Pearl: ebook out, paperback out in a couple of days. Regency romance: a rake who wants a marriage of convenience, an awkward spinster who doesn't want to marry at all. Fate has other plans for them both... #romancelandia #historicalfiction mybook.to/RegencyOutsi...

A lovely addition to a novel is to commission a sketch of a location, building, map, or item (e.g. jewellery) that is important to the story. Here is a fictional stately home inspired by Castle Ashby but with modifications to suit my story. #HistoricalRomance #romancelandia #WritingCommunity

Tip for authors, it can be useful to carry a business card with you which includes one of your book covers on the back, a quick and easy way to share one of your titles and where to find you. #WritingCommmunity #writingadvice

I love sensory research. Working on a Regency romance and this is a mouthwash from Regency times. If you were wondering what Mr Darcy or Elisabeth Bennett tasted like to kiss, you can still buy it from D.R. Harris, London's oldest chemist... #amwriting #HistoricalRomance #romancelandia
