Celebrating 10 years

Mark your calendars for March 15th where the authors of the Bluestocking Belles plus author friends will be celebrating ten years of story-telling collaboration in an all day Facebook party.

I’ll be hosting two slots: one at noon (EDT) and the other at 3 pm (EDT)

Who are the Bluestocking Belles?

Officially:

The Bluestocking Belles (the “BellesInBlue”) are a group of very different writers united by a love of history and a history of writing about love. From sweet to steamy, from light-hearted fun to dark tortured tales full of angst, from London ballrooms to country cottages to the sultan’s seraglio, one or more of us will have a tale to suit your tastes and mood.

Over the years the Belles have put together twelve collections of stories, some of them set in a common story world. I was privileged to join in 2021’s Storm and Shelter collection as one of the “author friends”, and later officially joined this collaborative group. We hale from various parts of the spinning globe: Australia, New Zealand, Central America, and the U.S.

At the anniversary party, we’ll be revealing the cover of our next story collection, due out in October 2025.

Come join us at the Belles Brigade Facebook group. There will be prizes!

It’s coming soon! I’ve been laboring long and hard on this full length story of a young widow getting a second chance at happiness after a miserable marriage. This is Book #44 in the Wicked Widows multi-author series.

Her Impeccable Scoundrel

Release Day November 18, 2025

Anxious to save a cherished inheritance, Blythe Blatchfield, widowed Countess of Chilcombe, knows she must repair her reputation with the Beau Monde in order to face the powerful marquess challenging her dissolute husband’s will. She vows to resist handsome rogues like her late husband, and to never again give her trust so blithely. But when the new earl, absent from England for many years, finally appears, new rumors swirl around Blythe. Facing the loss of everything, she finds herself needing the help of an old enemy, the man whose interference years earlier led to her unhappy marriage, the new Earl of Chilcombe.

Called back to England to take up his late cousin’s title, diplomat Graeme Blatchfield is eager to see his cousin’s widow and learn for himself whether the rumors about the woman he once held a childish infatuation for are true. Having plunged into marriage with the last earl—Graeme’s fault for revealing their tryst—she’s been tainted by her husband’s decadence. Forced by matters of the estate to spend time together, he soon discovers the vulnerable and lonely woman underneath the society mask. Can he get her to forgive him—and more?
