About Me

My photo
Ruth J. Hartman spends her days herding cats, and her nights spinning mysterious romantic tales that make you smile and laugh out loud - or so she's been told my readers! She, her husband Garry, and their two cats, love to spend time curled up in their recliners watching old Cary Grant movies. Well, the cats, Roxy and Remmie, sit in the people's recliners. Not that the cats couldn't get their own furniture. They just choose to shed on someone else's. You know how selfish those little furry creatures can be.

New Regency Romance! "A Nettle By Any Other Name"




Helen Marie, Lady Stormont, longs to improve educational opportunities for the bluestockings of Highgate. Though her contemporaries scoff at her idea, she plans to open a home just for the girls, where they can study without interruptions. Thinking she’ll be alone in her endeavors, she’s thrilled when her close friend Talbot Yelverton happily agrees to help her.

Talbot Yelverton, Earl of Godolphin, has a secret—he’s been in love with his friend Helen his entire life. Though he longs to tell her of his feelings, he’s afraid he’ll be rebuffed since she’s years his senior. Will Helen still think of him as the lad who followed her around when they were young? Will it advance his suit if he helps her fund the bluestocking house, or is he still hiding behind conventions while courting an unconventional lady?

I wanted to tell you about something I'm thankful for. That would be my family. I treasure them more than anything on this earth. My husband is so supportive of my writing. He's amazing. Even to the point of saying he'll fix supper sometimes, when he's worked all day, just so I can continue to write or edit. What a sweetheart. And my parents and siblings are supportive as well. They make me feel like I can do anything!

In light of being thankful, I'd like to give something to one of you! The winner will receive an ebook of mine - any of my current books. All you have to do is leave a comment below about why you're thankful for something. That's it!

And, as part of this blog hop, one lucky winner will receive a $50 Amazon gift card. But you have to comment! Visit all the sites (click the links below) on the hop and comment there too, for a better chance at winning.
