I’m honored to have been selected by the Maryland Library Association as this year’s recipient of the William G. Wilson Maryland Author Award. I’ll be attending their conference in May where I plan to champion the importance of historical fiction.

I was honored to be invited to participate in SPINE Magazine’s monthly author-curated feature listing six books at the top of my TBR pile. Click the link to read the article and maybe find a few books to add to your bedside table.

A few photographs from the amazing HNSNA conference held this year at the Gaylord in Washington DC’s National Harbor. It was my first time attending, but will definitely not be my last. The weekend started with dinner hosted by my fabulous agent where I got to eat lots of Italian food; drink wine; and chat books, history, and writing with my fellow Lyonesses. And it ended with a book signing seated between two historical heavy-hitters Jennifer Robson and Kate Quinn. Next year–HNSUK in Durham?

Southern Writers Magazine interviewed me for their March 2019 edition. I had a fantastic time chatting about author pen names, the craft of writing, favorite authors, and my latest release, THE WAY TO LONDON. Below is a wonderful little teaser they sent me, but you can check out the full article here: https://www.southernwritersmagazine.com/buy-online.html.

THE WAY TO LONDON has released in both Denmark and Sweden and is now available in both hardback and paperback. Click on my International Books page for links to participating booksellers.

Some great foreign rights news! SECRETS OF NANREATH HALL (available now in hardback through Harper Collins Nordic in Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark) will be re-released in paperback in Sweden and Finland in January 2018 and Denmark in June 2018.

Last weekend, I attended Washington Romance Writers’ annual Hearts To You Reader Luncheon. As always, it was a fabulous event of yummy food, lively talk, and out of this world raffle baskets. Thanks to Joy Harris of Joyfully Reviewed and Barb Batlan-Massabrook for taking pictures because I was having way too much fun and completely forgot to pull out my camera.
