Some of you may have noticed we’ve made a few changes to my website. The new EU laws for all websites and blogs that handle EU citizens’ information came at us out of the blue. My Goblin gets a giant gold star! He slogged through endless pages of gobbly-gook law-speak to update my website on […]

The post Changes… appeared first on Regency Romance Novels.

When I finished my last post I pumped my fist (feeling Gung ho). I was planning to make regular posts and then I got sucked into another sick-hell. My medical issue was supposed to be solved by intervention A, but instead intervention A caused issue B, which led to issue C, which intervention caused issue […]

The post I’m alive … I think… appeared first on Regency Romance Novels.

The sun shone down on England today…at least the part where I live. It felt so good sitting outside, even with a slight cool breeze. We’re expecting a return to rain or something dreary in the near future, but today was glorious. After lunch the Goblin suggested we drive over to the Garden center and have […]

The post Spring Cometh… appeared first on Regency Romance Novels.

The last four months have been a boring blur of illness (back and forth to the doctors – again)! I finished the initial mega-edit of The Curse of Love, but the printed off paper copy is still waiting for me to find enough brain cells to go through it and double check my work. I’m […]

The post I’m Participating in Smashwords’ Read an E-Book Week… appeared first on Regency Romance Novels.

The last few days my sense of time has been off, thanks to a virus that has afflicted me and my Goblin. Halloween is coming? Wait, It’s over? What? I keep thinking today is Saturday…it’s Tuesday! I roll my eyes at myself! However, I’m excited that it’s finally November because it’s time for ‘November Skies’ a song […]

After helping me edit Once Upon a Wager, the Goblin announced he needed a few days of fun in the Lake District. It’s a part of England where, unsurprisingly, there are a lot of lakes in between stony hillsides – it’s utterly magical. So last week we packed up the car and drove up North. […]

Once Upon a Wager is finally finished and on my website. There are four free chapters if you want to check it out! I shall be sending out the newsletter to members later today – after I’ve written it. I should have done it weeks ago and somehow spaced it off. For those who aren’t members […]

Once Upon a Wager is almost through the second edit phase. I’m hoping it will be on line in another week, though it depends on how fast the Goblin works his magic. The editing process took longer than I expected. I started Once Upon a Wager eight years ago (working on it in-between other stories). […]

 After dinner, I sat down to do some more work, but I got distracted. Sitting here, I suddenly wondered what sort of free history e-books I could find. Within in minutes I came across this one; ‘Travels in England in 1782‘ by Karl Philipp Moritz Moritz was a German clergyman who, thankfully for us, was an […]

It never ceases to amaze me how aspects of the ‘Regency era’ still echo through our lives 200 years later (often in very weird ways). Growing up, Halloween was my favorite holiday. I loved dressing up (and the free candy). My first costumed Halloween I was in Kindergarten. We lived five miles out of town on a sparsely […]
