Bizarre as it seems to me now, I hated reading as a child. I associated it with school and homework and I seemed to read without it engaging my imagination. I struggled to finish a single book.

Then, in my early teens, my mother introduced me to the novels of Georgette Heyer and I was hooked. To the despair of my father, who thought I should be reading much more serious works, I read all her books voraciously, before moving on to Jane Austen and other classics. I discovered that I was, in fact, a bookworm in the making.

Since that time (too many years for me to admit to with impunity) I have struggled to find many Regency Romance books that have inspired me in the same way that Miss Heyer’s books did. I gave up reading the genre for a long ti

Happy New Year!

A happy and healthy 2018 to all my readers! Yes, it’s true, I am still alive. Where have I been? Good question. Fighting my inner demons, struggling with crippling self-doubt and trying to decide what I want to do with the rest of my life. It’s been a roller-coaster ride but I have finally realised […]

“WHAT CAN YOU HAVE found at Holme to entertain you all this time?” complained Sir Julius, looking at his friend through his quizzing glass. His lordship had come down to London on business. Within the hour, news of his arrival had reached a good number of his acquaintances. He had been invited to dine by three particular friends, and a note had been brought around to his house asking him to present himself at his mother’s house as a matter of urgency. Having been in London several days and having failed to abide by her wishes, the earl was bracing himself for an imminent visit from the countess. As his lordship had a very fair notion of what his mother wished to ask him about, he was much relieved to have found Sir Julius upon his doorstep instead.”

“You may not approve, Mama, but for the first time in my life, I have found someone who makes me smile, someone whose absence from a room makes me sad, someone whose eyes seek mine when there is a good joke to be shared. For the first time in my life I wonder what it would be like to hold that person when I am old and gray. And that, in my experience, is a most promising start. Now, if you will excuse me, I must go.”
