today I’m going to talk about BEWITCHING BENEDICT, which is a Regency romance with (*gasp*) no magic, despite the title. :) I’d been reading lots and lots of MC Beaton’s Regency romances, and I asked my agent at the time if there was still a market for Regencies, because I thought maybe I could write one. He said yes, if I wrote him a charming piece of confectionary, he could definitely sell it. Well, I *did* write a charming piece of confectionary, but he couldn’t sell it. I was told…
Bewitching Benedict is currently available for pre-order on: iTunes || Kindle || Kobo || Nook Chapter One The Season had, in Miss Claire Dalton’s estimation, come early, and come directly to her.

My charming little Regency romance, BEWITCHING BENEDICT, is now available for pre-order at Amazon! I *may* have pre-order links for other sites by tomorrow, but if not, I should have most of them for Friday when it goes live.

It’s edits and copyedits and guilting over unwritten short stories (I was going to really try to focus on writing…I was going to say ‘good’, but I write good enough short stories. But twisty, deep ones, perhaps. I want to add that to my skill set. So I was going to try…
I am ALMOST DONE with revisions on BEWITCHING BENEDICT, my little Regency that’s the first of the Lovelorn Lads romance series. It’s a charming, funny little comedy of manners that I genuinely believe anybody who likes my stuff will really enjoy, even though it (*looks furitive, whispers*) hasn’t got any fantasy aspects to it.
