How to be Pregnant (in Regency England)
My next release, The Firstborn (yes, I WILL find a way to slip that into every conversation from now until… oh, let’s say summer) features a baby named George. He’s chubby and smooshy and spits up on people at inopportune moments, but let’s go back a bit and examine what it was like to be “in the family way” round and about two hundred years ago.
1. You’re not “pregnant.”
Such an ugly word. You’re a Read more of this blog post »

“I'm sorry," he says, his fingers closing around mine. "You shouldn't be looking at such..."
"Such what?" I ask, a question that is rapidly chased by another. "And why not?"
He glances down at the pictures, then tears his gaze away, dragging it back to my face. "Well, because it's improper, for one thing."
How cruel it would be of me to ask for a second thing, if only to watch him stumble and stammer while his gaze struggles not to dip down to those portraits a second time. "It may have escaped your notice at some point during our acquaintance, but I am a woman. And as shocking as it may be for you to believe, I have seen myself naked on more than one occasion, so you'll pardon me if I am not offended by anything these ladies have to offer.”

“We cannot know what lies ahead of us. Our futures are not for us to divine. But what I do know, or what I believe, is that there is indeed a path laid out before us, one we cannot see. And yet we must walk it, placing one foot in front of the other, with our eyes blind and our hearts trusting that we will not lose our way.”

“It was once a commonly-held belief that dragons were nothing more than creatures pocketed into the realm of myth and fairytale. But man also once believed the Earth to be flat, and that we sat with prim and unswerving confidence at the center of the universe. Now it is merely man himself who believes himself to be seated at the center of everything.”

“So Matilda’s strong young mind continued to grow, nurtured by the voices of all those authors who had sent their books out into the world like ships on the sea. These books gave Matilda a hopeful and comforting message: You are not alone.”
