What's Afoot With Grace:

Hear Ye, Hear Ye!!!

July 14, 2026

I am delighted to share the news that I’ve signed a “refresher” agreement with Tantor Media for audio book titles whose contracts had expired. Those titles include (drum roll please!): Tremaine, Daniel, Will (first three True Gents); The Bridegroom Wore Plaid, Once Upon a Tartan, The MacGregor’s Lady, Mary Fran and Matthew; Thomas, Matthew, Axel, Jack; and from the Windham series, A Duke and His Duchess, The Courtship, and Lady Louisa’s Christmas Knight. 

These are world English deals, meaning these titles should be re-issued in all English speaking markets, for purchase,  through subscription plans, and through public libraries.

And from the more good news department… Tantor has also put the remaining True Gentlemen under contract for audio release, though producing nine more titles will take some time. Wheee!

Of Barons and Blogs

In honor of The Besotted Baron’s audio release on July 21, I’ve discounted the ebook version of that title to $.99 in the web store for the whole month. No word yet on whether Podium will pick up more of the Bad Heir Day Tales for audio editions, but while Podium is having a think, I might be able to get James Langton to narrate a couple more of the Lord Julian mysteries. All good!

Also for the month of July… The blog is on hiatus. I will be back with regular Sunday posts in August, and I will spend much of the next few weeks in company with Lord Julian. He’s on a seaside holiday, anticipating the joys of matrimony, when all of a sudden… Pre-ordering links for A Gentleman of Very Few Words in the next couple weeks. Wheee!

All that Sizzles…

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!
