What's Afoot With Grace:

All that Sizzles…

June 28, 2026

On the blog this week, we’re having a think about getting back on the horse–or not. Add your wisdom to the discussion here.

Speaking of the blog… I will not be posting during the month of July.  This has become an annual hiatus, because I find the best way to get an idea for a new post is to not think of the blog at all. Odd how that works.

I’m happy to pass along that An Heir of Possibilities has come back from Madam Copy Editor and is right on schedule for its August launch date. This is the sixth book in the Bad Heir Day Tales, but it won’t be the last!

Bustin’ Out All Over!!!

June 21, 2026

On the blog this week, we’re talking about melting down, and not just because summer in the northern hemisphere is hot. Add your thoughts here.

In honor of the recent release of The Elusive Earl as an audio book (see Apple, Spotify, Audible, and the library channels), I’ve discounted the ebook edition in the web store to $.99 for the rest of June. I’ll probably discount The Besotted Baron next month, so if you don’t yet have that ebook, be patient and save a few bucks!

Yonder Comes the Baron!!!

On the blog this week, I’m focused on how alternating between responsibilities is not the same as alternating between work and time off. Who knew? Add your two cents here.

This just in! The Besotted Baron has an approximate audio release date of July 21. The closer we get to that date, the more links will populate here. (And in case I didn’t foghorn this news often enough, The Elusive Earl’s audio launch date is June 16, which is Tuesday–wheee!)

Look for pre-ordering links for A Gentleman of Very Few Words very shortly. Lord Julian’s thirteenth mystery is keeping me up at nights in the best possible way. I am aiming for a late fall release, though genius (his lordship’s) cannot be rushed–or so he tells me. A lot.

And the Heat Goes On!!!

On the blog this week, we’re considering the good, the bad, and the precious about summer in the northern hemisphere. Add your perspective here. 

Reminder for my Kobo readers: I’ve put The Jaded Gentlemen (Thomas, Matthew, Axel, Jack) into the Kobo Plus program. I know it’s back list, but if there’s interest, I’ll rotate more titles through Plus later in the year.

And speaking of Kobo! A Gentleman of Modest Ambitions has been selected as a Best of the Month mystery in the Kobo CA store. Lord Julian is in some very impressive company. Take a peek!

Not to be outdone, Barnes and Noble has named the self-same title to its top indie favorites for June and July. His lordship is on a roll!
