Hi Selina:
I'm so glad you loved INFAMOUS!
You asked if I leave some part of myself in the books I write? I think the answer to that is probably 'yes'. I think it is inevitable that an author puts some of themselves in all their books. Maybe not something obvious, but certainly part of their spirit. For example, I often write about underdogs and people who don't fit in. I didn't realize that until somebody pointed that out to me. I suppose that is the part of me that stood against the wall during junior high dances and waited, with all the other unpopular girls, for a boy to ask me to dance...
The characters I've loved most are probably two of my least loveable: Martin from SCANDALOUS, just because he has so many chips on his shoulders (both of them!) and he's suspicious and paranoid and quick to take offense.
My other favorite is Eva, from OUTRAGEOUS, because she is out of control and impulsive and thoughtless, but her heart is in the right place.
I hope you enjoy the rest of my books--thank you for reaching out!

You should fire your cover designer. He/She has illustrated an 1860s dress on a so-called Regency heroine (1812-1824). Don't these artists even LOOK ONLINE at what was being worn during the time of the story? NO, they do NOT, they are too stupid and arrogant to check anything! Look up Regency or Empire clothing on Google and see what they REALLY wore! THEN fire your artist!

Hi Shantal/Minerva SM Goodwin’s Absence of Mercy was a phenomenal read for the first in the historical murder mystery genre. Absolutely entered the book. But the icing is the audiobook. Narrated by Rupert Degas, it’s a great listen. My first favorite male narrator. I’m an fan now. When can be expect the next book?
