Books
My favorite books are the Bible, of course, and Lloyd Alexander's Prydain series (I think I've read it at least a dozen times), anything by the late great Elizabeth Mansfield, and Christopher Stasheff's Her Majesty's Wizard. I also sometimes reread my own books: The Unflappable Miss Fairchild The Twelve Days of Christmas, republished in 2008 as My True Love Gave to Me The Bluestocking on His Knee Catch of the Season A Dangerous Dalliance The Marquis' Kiss The Incomparable Miss Compton The Irredeemable Miss Renfield Lord Borin's Secret Love Utterly Devoted Starstruck Perfection
And novellas in His Blushing Bride A Match for Mother Mistletoe Kittens
Many of these books are now available electronically by
About me: I'm the author of 17 romances, all set in the marvelous Regency period of England: beautiful ladies in long, flowing dresses; charming gentlemen in double-breasted cutaway coats and skin-tight trousers; elegant dancing and witty conversation. Think of Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice and Sense and Sensibility.
I started writing novels in the third grade. Thankfully for literature as we know it, I didn't actually sell my first novel until I'd learned a bit more about writing such as vocabulary, sentence structure, and plot. And recently I realized it would be a lot more interesting to write for and about young adults instead!
