What's Afoot With Grace:

Of Books and Bouquets!!!

May 12, 2024

On the blog this week, we’re throwing roses, and sometimes even catching them. Beethoven gets honorable mention as well, and I hope you’ll join the discussion too!

Lord Julian has been busy! Not only is his fifth mystery, A Gentleman in Search of a Wife, due out on May 24, (May 17 in the web store), but his sixth adventure, A Gentleman of Unreliable Honor, is now available for pre-order. This will be a September release, and yes, friends, there will be print editions (and a final cover, I hope). Ordering links here.

Apple Books is having a wowser historical romance sale through May 25 (which means you can load up for any Memorial Day getaways, beach raids, or just for fun). Miss Dashing (aka Hecate and Phillip, Mischief in Mayfair No. 8) is among the offerings, priced at $2.99. , and you can see the whole line-up here.

Sounds Sweet!!!

May 5, 2024

On the blog this week, I’m considering how alarm clocks and stroke risk impact my life (they are related, apparently), and I’m asking readers to chime in about their soundscapes. Share your comment here.

That happy sigh you hear is me, being delighted that Lord Julian’s fifth mystery, A Gentleman in Search of a Wife, already has a print version (from Amazon). I will wrangle some other print options over the next few weeks.

And in this lovely month of May, do take a peek at my Deals page. The Sweetest Kisses trilogy is a web store exclusive, and I’ve put the whole bundle on sale for $2.99. If you’ve given my Damson Valley contemporaries a pass before, this is the lowest price I’ve put on them ever. Order your copy here.

His Grouchy Grace!!!

April 28, 2024

Drum roll, please! I’m very pleased to announce that The Dreadful Duke is now available from the major retail ebook sites (and in print from Amazon, more print links coming soon). Finn and Wilhelmina’s story is the series opener for The Bad Heir Day Tales, and was great fun to write. I do love me a grouchy duke, especially when he has a heart of gold and has finally met the love of his life! Ordering links here.

On the blog this week, we’re discussing non-negotiables and slow mornings (which have become non-negotiable for me). Contribute your perspective here.

In the going, going, gone department… A Gentleman Fallen on Hard Times, the first Lord Julian Mystery, has been priced on all the retail sites at $2.49 for the month of April. The price will bounce back up to $4.99 on May 1 (Wednesday), so get him while he’s discounted. Ordering links here.

 

You can hear Lord Julian now!!!

April 23, 2024

For all the readers who asked when Lord Julian’s first audio title would come out, your patience has been rewarded! A Gentleman Fallen on Hard Times can now be purchased as an audio book through the web store. (And if ebook is your thing, this title is discounted to $2.49 at all the major retailers for the month of April. Ordering links here.)

On the blog this week, we are thinking about grit and the confidence to take on new endeavors. They don’t come from where I first thought they did. Add your comment here.

Drum roll please! In anticipation of The Dreadful Duke’s retail release later this week, the lovely folks at Fresh Fiction have posted a review. Finn is blushing, Mina is quite pleased, and old Charles is thumping his tail most vigorously!
