I’m so excited Kobo Plus is now available as an all-you-can-eat book subscription service (including audiobooks!) in the United States, and United Kingdom too! Kobo Plus isn’t in every country, but it’s a great program from a wonderful international bookstore. And I think that it’s good for readers as well as authors. Good for everyone,…
As soon as we started house hunting, I knew that it would. Have you moved often? How long does it take to unpack? We are determined not to be those people with untouched boxes years from now. So far we’re doing pretty good; but it’s taking a looooong while! Meanwhile, some titles intended for 2022…
I’m constantly amazed at the wealth of resources online that show you exactly what a particular part of London looked like even hundreds of years ago. I love this picture of Leicester Square even though it is perhaps 100 years prior to the time setting of Ladies’ Own Bakery (which begins in 1813, in the…

I’m trying something new – spreading my weekly dose of hopefully pleasant history tidbits a little more widely across my social media, not just my Facebook page! Readers of The Countess Invention may recall that Cass noticed the amount of greens served at Roseford Manor when she visited for Christmas. And readers of The Winter’s…
A sophisticated friend of mine, also an excellent storyteller, surprised me with her take upon reading What a Duchess Does. I’m paraphrasing, because I didn’t record the conversation, because fortunately we don’t have that kind of relationship, but essentially she said, “Oh, Nicholas is the type I adore.
