Welcome to a Catskill Summer!

Today, I am welcoming Bart A. Charlow and his book That Catskill Summer to my blog – this as part of his Coffee Pot Book Club tour. I had only the vaguest idea of where the Catskills were located (even if I have VERY clear memories of Dirty Dancing) but now, after some time spent

Going west – Brooke Allen’s book about Julia Hancock

I will readily admit Julia Hancock is an unknown historical figure to me – but I did know about her hubby, intrepid explorer William Clark. I imagine an intrepid explorer needs an intrepid wife, and by all accounts Julia was just that. Likely what drove Ms Allen to write about her, right? So: today’s book: West

Whispers in the snow – showcasing Heidi Eljarbo’s latest!

Ms Eljarbo as a new release, Whispers in the Snow, and I am happy to host her as part of her Coffee Pot Book Club blog tour. I must admit to being rather partial to Ms Eljarbo on account of her Norwegian surname, but also because I have enjoyed some of her previous books and

Lord Frederick’s Return – shining some light on Ms Kullman and her book

I discovered historical fiction already as a small child – thank you Henry Treece. But I fell in love with the genre when I discovered Georgette Heyer. Since then, Regency Romance has a special place in my heart – men in buckskin breeches and polished Hessians are hard to resist – so when I was

Today, I am happy to host Amy Maroney and her latest release, The Pirate’s Physician, as part of her tour with the Coffee Pot Book Club. I have enjoyed several of Amy’s books, which was why I immediately downloaded my own copy of her latest. Did I enjoy it? Well, there is a review further

The Warmth of Snow – welcome to romantic Sweden!

Today, I am rather chuffed to be part of Heidi Eljarbo’s blog tour featuring her new book, The Warmth of Snow. Why? Well, the book is set in Sweden, and now and then i succumb to bouts of patriotism. Plus, Heidi lives in Norway, and I love Norway! (Well, not always: not when they beat

Pssst! Listen up – a post about audio books

I have recently released one of my books as an audio book under my own imprint. I already have sixteen audio books under my belt – but they’re distributed by Blackstone publishing. In retrospect, I should maybe have held on to my audio rights to maximise my royalties, but I find it so HARD (and

A new book and a birthday – a celebratory combo?

Today is publication day for Her Castilian Heart and I am especially proud to release a book that has already been awarded a Gold Medal in the 2022 Coffee Pot Book Club Awards. That was an unexpected and delightful honour, and I am quite sure both Noor and Robert—my somewhat battered protagonists—are happy as well.
