I love to read. I especially enjoy history. Author of HEYERWOOD: A Novel and A RATIONAL ATTACHMENT, both set in the Regency era. Closed door romance. Currently working on a non-fiction book about 7 women.
The cold is hanging on. Even here, tomorrow promises to be nippy. What better way to spend a chilly day than with a nice hot cup of tea and a book? Especially with the Sunshine State Book festival next weekend! I hope to see you there.

Now the state: repeal property tax & increase sales tax from 6 to 9%. Most (if not all) counties & some cities have additional tax. This will hit people with lower incomes very hard. This would also force counties to beg for funding or to impose or increase their taxes. www.wctv.tv/2025/12/17/f...

Forgive the self-promo! My cozy holiday novella, which I scribbled when the world was too dark to focus on my fantasy series, is out today. So unlike anything I've written in the last decade, but just what I needed now. www.amazon.com/dp/B0FXJDB1Y1 #JAFF #PrideandPrejudice #JaneAusten
