What's Afoot With Grace:
Brief and Elusive!!!
June 1, 2026
On the blog this week, we’re focusing on the words we have trouble saying, and why they are so hard for us, either to hear or to say. Add your thoughts here.
New month, new discount in the web store. The Elusive Earl, book three of the Bad Heir Day Tales, is next on the list of upcoming audio editions, so I’ve discounted the ebook in the web store to $.99 for all of June.
Big thanks to all the readers who put A Gentleman of Modest Ambitions in the top historical mystery slot in the whole Amazon bookstore. The honor was briefly held but much appreciated!!! Look for pre-order links for A Gentleman of Very Few Words in the next few weeks.
Modest and Mysterious!!!
May 24, 2026
On the blog this week, we’re talking to and about strangers, and that is apparently good for us. Add your perspective here.
Drum roll, please! Lord Julian’s twelfth mystery, A Gentleman of Modest Ambitions, publishes at the retail sites on Friday. Print is already available from Amazon, and the ebook published a bit early on the web store. Wheee!
Please welcome The Mysterious Marquess to my audio book catalogue! Listen though Spotify, Audible, or Apple Books here, and public library access should be available now too through Libby and Hoopla.
May Is for the Marquess!!!

On the blog this week, I’m paraphrasing Shakespeare, though the topic is the seven ages of moi, rather than “man.” Take a peek here.
Friendly mid-month reminder: The ebook version of The Mysterious Marquess is on sale in the web store for $.99 in honor of the release of the audio book (of the same name) on May 19.
Of Books and Balance!!!
May 10, 2026
On the blog this week, we’re considering how we keep our balance, to the extent that is even possible some days. Add your wisdom here.
For my print readers, the Amazon print edition of A Gentleman of Modest Ambitions is available here. I apologize in advance for the price, much of which is beyond my control. When I am queen…
For my audio readers, mark your calendars! The Elusive Earl, book three of The Bad Heir Day Tales, is scheduled to publish as an audio book on or around June 16. I will thump the tub loudly when the pre-order links are available. Book two, The Mysterious Marquess, is due to go live in audio on or around May 19. Wheee!
Talkin’ Turtle

So there I am, tooling past fields of gorgeous first cutting hay, over the creek, around the hedgerow on the way to the therapeutic riding barn. Beautiful day. Warm, sunny, low humidity, great to be alive. Up yonder I spot a box turtle crossing the road. Shell length is about six or seven inches, so maybe a young adult off on young adult business, but making predictably labored progress across the perilous asphalt. I am slowing my old Prius down, thinking to offer an assist to this worthy wayfarer, when the driver in the opposite … Continue reading
