Fun Weekend Links and Upcoming Book!

 

Hello everyone!  It's been ages since I popped in here, but I have been busy finishing a new Flora Flowerdew mystery, starting a new job (buyer for museum shops!), and getting ready for my last Harlequin Historical release, The Dollar Princess Dilemma.  It's a bittersweet moment, but I love this story so much--Gilded Age Newport!  Dukes and heiresses!  Yachts and beaches and mansions!  I hope you enjoy it, too.  (it will be out August 26, more info coming soon...)

In the meantime, I hope you're enjoying your summer, and here's a few things to read:

Weekend Links

 Happy (sniffle, cough) weekend!  Or not so much around here--after over 3 years of good luck, I have covid!!!  Luckily, it just feels like a no-fun cold and is getting better, but my writing was set back for a few days and I spent far too much time watching videos of dogs and cats pretending to talk (that Penny the cat, hilarious!).  But here are a few other reads I found, and happy autumn!  I love this time of year.  Crisp breezes!  Beautiful colors!  Apple cider!  Striped sweaters!  Best of all...Halloween
