“The Rogue Entices” added to the Bookshelf page for ROGUE’S LADY!

Wednesday, March 4th, 2009

In honor of the March UK release of ROGUE’S LADY, I’ve added to the ROGUE’S LADY bookshelf an “extra” chapter written for the now-defunct Amazon Short program. Entitled “The Rogue Entices,” this episode, available for the first time, takes Will and Allegra on a visit to Astley’s Amphitheatre, a famous entertainment venue founded by a former cavalry man that featured dazzling displays of equestrian skill. While Will and Allegra watch the horsemanship under the eye of Allegra’s chaperone, both try to ignore the budding friendship that enhances their physical attraction and remind themselves they each need to concentrate on trying to make respectable marriages—to someone else. Enjoy!

Highwaymen of the High Seas

Anyone who has ever read Georgette Heyer knows that the brandy milord offered to his guests probably never passed through Customs.  Ditto for tobacco, tea, lace, spices and many other goods (more than 1300 items found their way onto the Customs lists during the peak smuggling years.) For a thumbnail sketch of smuggling history and practices, check out my Wednesday February 4 blog post on www.riskyregencies.blogspot.com

The UK cover for Rogue’s Lady

Thursday, January 22nd, 2009

What’s in a…color?  Speaking of the UK page, I’ve just gotten a look at the cover of the UK release for Rogue’s Lady. If you’ll compare that to the North American one, you’ll see they’ve changed the color of Allegra’s dress from turquoise to green and showed all, rather than part, of her face.

I must admit, being accustomed to the blue dress, the green looks odd to me.  What do you think?
