I believe in love.
On the blog this week, we re pondering why allowing yourself time and space to hang out with your darts team is good for society (and for you). Add your insights here. It s that time again! The print version of An Heir of Possibilities is available from Amazon. I bobbled this one, initially publishing the same book under the title A Gentleman of Very Few Words (even though the cover said An Heir…
One of my dad s graduates students, an Irishman, noticed immediately upon arriving in the United States that Americans don t have a third place. Everybody back in Dublin had a preferred pub (their local, ) or a football/cricket/rugby/shinny/bowls club, that wasn t home and wasn t work. It was a purely social space, often offering food and drink or some activity, where the other regulars knew by…
I am blogging this week about work that never ends, about which, we all know too much. I nonetheless think doing that work has significant intangible benefits. Read more here. Winter is coming! In honor of that cheering notion, I ve begun work on a Christmas novella set at Caldicott Hall that yet manages to be a romance (though some mystery might creep in?). Working title: A Gentleman In Winter.…
I was waiting for a meeting to start when the lady next to me asked how my summer was going. It s going too quickly. I am busy, but I don t seem to be getting much done. It s August, and I still haven t scrubbed, sanded, and repainted the porch. I m running all the errands, tending to all the chores, using all the hours, with little to show for it. She nodded. Work that has no end. Not a project…
I am back from my annual July blogging hiatus, and I arrive bearing a serving of humble pie. Read the details here. Our fave narrator James Langton has been busy! You will find the audio edition of A Gentleman Far From Home now available through the web store. I am pretty sure James has already queued up A Gentleman of Modest Ambitions, too! New month, new title on the Deals page! I expect Worth s…
My mom was a walker. She prayed and walked, socialized and walked, got space from my dad through walking, and probably brightened a lot of other people s days with her generally friendly demeanor. She walked a LOT, several miles a day, well into her eighties. Then came the day when she developed plantar fasciitis, and in a small way, her world came to an end. All the other regulars on the sidewalk…
The long-awaited day has come! The audio edition of The Besotted Baron is now available from Apple Books, Spotify, and Audible. This title has also been distributed to library channels, so you should be able to find it through Libby and Hoopla. In honor the audio release, I ve put the ebook on $.99 discount in the web store for the rest of the month. Enjoy! And the other long-awaited day has also…
I am delighted to share the news that I ve signed a refresher agreement with Tantor Media for audio book titles whose contracts had expired. Those titles include (drum roll please!): Tremaine, Daniel, Will (first three True Gents); The Bridegroom Wore Plaid, Once Upon a Tartan, The MacGregor s Lady, Mary Fran and Matthew; Thomas, Matthew, Axel, Jack; and from the Windham series, A Duke and His…
In honor of The Besotted Baron s audio release on July 21, I ve discounted the ebook version of that title to $.99 in the web store for the whole month. No word yet on whether Podium will pick up more of the Bad Heir Day Tales for audio editions, but while Podium is having a think, I might be able to get James Langton to narrate a couple more of the Lord Julian mysteries. All good! Also for the…
On the blog this week, we re having a think about getting back on the horse or not. Add your wisdom to the discussion here. Speaking of the blog I will not be posting during the month of July. This has become an annual hiatus, because I find the best way to get an idea for a new post is to not think of the blog at all. Odd how that works. I m happy to pass along that An Heir of Possibilities has…
