    Twin Peril is in stores now. : ) If you don't have a copy yet, you can check out the cover or read an excerpt.

     There is now an edition of The Marriage Campaign in Polish. Check out its cover.

    Harriett Broughton and Simon, Lord Howe outschemed their matchmaking relatives and found happily ever after together in The MP's Daughter. (Unfortunately, The MP's Daughter, which was supposed to be out in January 2006, is in limbo.)
    Those of you who've read A Scandalous Journey or The Marriage Campaign have met Harriett. She doesn't appear in A Rake's Redemption or Twin Peril (although Howe does), but MPD begins just a few days after those stories end. Viscount Dunnley and Lady Sarah Mallory (from ARR) make an appearance in MPD, as do the Duke of Fairfax and Lady Deborah Woodhurst (from TP).

     Have you visited the Signet/NAL authors forum recently? Authors and readers are writing a serial Regency romance, Lady Ariadne's Great Mistake. I wrote the first installment, as well as one other one (so far), and a number of authors--and readers--are taking part. You may have to register to post an installment, but registration is painless--and free. : ) The serial novel is here, but there are lots of other interesting discussions going on. 

      Have you taken the Jane Austen heroines quiz? It's easy, it's quick, and it's fun.

    The first two weeks of August 2003, I helped Patricia Rice, Mary Jo Putney, and Susan King organize a tribute to Signet Regency romance editor Hilary Ross. Hilary is no longer at Signet/NAL, and she will be sorely missed. She is a marvelous editor and a wonderful lady, and it was a pleasure working with her.
