New from Summer Hanford + Giveaway + Excerpt
Hello All and Happy New Year! I have two exciting New Releases to tell you about, plus a ‘Secret Audiobook Giveaway.’ Although, given the way ACX goes about reviewing and approving audiobooks, I really have no way to know if the audiobook will still be ‘secret’ by the time this post goes up.

The Guardians of Pemberley – new date
Bad news, folks – I’m delaying the release of The Guardians of Pemberley for a month. As some of you know, I’ve had some challenges this year as my beloved Mr. R faces a cascade of health problems. We hoped we’d reached the turning point in mid-August, but alas! It turns out there’s yet another …

Before Elizabeth
I’m glad you’re enjoying the Prelude to Pemberley segments so much! Although this isn’t an official one, it really could have been.

New Release – Gentlemen of Honor
Hello All! It’s Summer again (the person, not the season). I have a second new release for you. Some of you may be thinking, how can that be? You just released Dishonorable Gentlemen last week. Well, I’ve been hoarding manuscripts, like a Book Dragon, but not because I didn’t want to share. Rather, because these two …
