Oh, dontcha just love a holiday happily ever after? I wrote this story in part because I delight in seasonal romances, and also because I delight in books. I well remember that day in second grade when my teacher turned the class loose in the school library for the first time. Aladdin’s Cave of Wonders paled for me by comparison.
My local public library figured prominently in my middle-school years in particular, and started me on a path that ultimately led to a degree in music history and many lucrative and enjoyable hours at the piano.
If you want some interesting reading, try binging the lives of the composers. Yikes!
As you think about your TBR pile this holiday season, please spare a thought for your local library too. Most of them have donation buttons on their web sites, and they enrich our communities with so much more than “just” books.
But speaking of books… I have a few more on the way. The Lord Julian Mysteries launched in August with A Gentleman Fallen on Hard Times. Book two, A Gentleman of Dubious Reputation, is available now from my web store and in print, and will launch on the retail sites on November Nov. 3. Book Three, A Gentleman in Challenging Circumstances, will be available from the web store on Oct. 24, and launch on the retail sites Dec. 5.
And if you haven’t crossed paths with his lordship, I’ve included an excerpt from A Gentleman of Dubious Reputation below.
But what about the romances, you ask? No worries! Miss Dramatic, our next Mischief in Mayfair title, will be available from the web store on Nov. 14, and launch on the retail sites Nov. 28. Excerpt below.
Am I going to have a busy end to my year or what? Wheee!
Happy reading!
