Please save the date: In January, we're going to celebrate!

We’re going to have a tea party! It’s happening in January. It’s happening live, in Massachusetts, where it will be cold and possibly snowy. Have your boots ready.

Meena Jain, Director of the Ashland Public Library, is throwing the party to celebrate the release of My Inconvenient Duke. I’ll be there, of course, chatting with my good friend, author Caroline Linden, and those of you readers who can make it. There will be treats. And attendees are welcome to dress in Regency/Romantic era costume, if they so choose.

January 2025 also marks Lord of Scoundrels’ 30th anniversary (may I say Yikes). We’ll also celebrate this miracle of longevity.

The photo: The teacup and saucer belonged to my mother, and was probably a wedding gift. She gave it to me when I turned into a serious tea drinker. Of course I’m afraid to use it, but I keep it where I can see it every day… and wonder if she ever drank tea from it. She was a coffee drinker (black, always) all the time I knew her.
