As far as I know, Gavin and Rose have brought the curtain down on our Mischief in Mayfair tales, though I never rule out novellas, sequels, or spin-offs. The author is sometimes the last to know about these things. I’ve had fun with a duke-free series, and yet my work in progress involves, of all things, a reluctant duke. More on that project later!
Next up on my publication schedule are a couple of whodunnits in the Lord Julian Mystery series. In A Gentleman in Challenging Circumstances, his lordship must ferret out the antecedents of a small boy who might be Julian’s legitimate nephew—and thus the salvation of the Caldicott family succession—or, more likely, the innocent personification of scandal at the worst possible time. The retail publication date is Dec. 5, 2023, though my web store ebook version and a print version are already available. Excerpt below.
In February 2024 (yikes, already?!), Julian’s fourth tale, A Gentleman in Pursuit of Truth, finds his lordship searching for a valuable missing foxhound. Before canine is found, Julian’s life is put in danger, and his relationship with his ducal brother strained to the utmost. Nothing is as it seems, and Julian must choose between honor and family loyalty if he’s to solve the many riddles he unearths. Excerpt below.
I foresee many more adventures for his lordship, and many more happily-ever-afters too. If you’d like to stay up to date on my new releases and pre-orders, following me on Bookbub is probably the best way to do that. I announce discounts, early releases, and web store exclusives on my Deals page, and also send out a newsletter eight to ten times a year. I will never sell, swap, or disclose your personal information, and unsubscribing is easy.
I also blog most Sundays, and if you are interested in e-ARC copies of my upcoming releases, the blog is where I put out the word when the files are ready.
Wishing you all a joyous end of the year, and much great reading in 2024!
