2024 The plot thickens...
Things have moved on considerably since the days of Covid. It seems to be disappearing behind us into the mists of time. But the world keeps changing with all kinds of mayhem and confusion hitting our screens. Thank goodness we have books as leaven and, in my particular storyworld, an escape for a while into a world untouched by the vagaries of modern life.
​
The last adventure for Lady Fan, THE HANGING CHEAT, came out in November of 2023. I had planned for the eleventh story to come out earlier this year, but the fates intervened, knocking out my schemes and plans while a physical issue was discovered and handled. Fortunately, that was all done and dusted by the start of the second half of the year and I was able to finish the book in time for it to hopefully make its appearance before Christmas.
​
And indeed, that has happened. THE KILLING CAVE is now on pre-order and launches on 13th December. I could not have planned it better.
​
In the meanwhile, I have been busy revising my Governess Trilogy, the first of which launched (or dropped, as they say these days) on 2nd August. PRUDENCE is out. The second has followed in short order. Then came the third. Both NELL and KITTY are now on pre-order and will launch on 25th October.
​
My head is spinning with Lady Fan's twelfth adventure, and this time I hope the fates will bide elsewhere and let me finish without let or hindrance. Fingers crossed!

The Chocolate House Anthology
I was invited to take part in an anthology of Regency short stories set around the Masqueraders' Chocolate House in Bath. As the project was for charity, I was delighted to participate. The result is a diverse selection of six enjoyable stories. Mine is a short Regency which became a precursor to the Brides by Chance series.
Upcoming Books
The Lady Fan series with Sapere Books is moving along well. We now have the tenth book out and there are no plans to stop there. A new historical romance came out in the summer and there are plans for more to come next year.
