Nine bestselling authors present nine Regency romances — some traditionally sweet, some clean, some mildly sensuous — in a boxed set you won’t want to miss!

Teach Me Under the Mistletoe:
What's a girl to do when she's never been kissed, and the worldly man she wants regards her as a child?
How It All Began for the Baron:
Cassie can’t stand her brother’s best friend… really.

Lady Laura Montgomery, acting as her stepsister's chaperone, takes solace in poetry and her love of music. Can they comfort her as she faces the man who stole her heart ten years ago?
Mistletoe Magic: Can the mistletoe work its magic and open Evelyn’s eyes to true love at the Christmas ball?
The Matchmakers:
Jessie Selkirk has a mission — to take care of every stray cat she finds. But when Baldwin Rutledge steps into her barn looking for a cat, she develops a whole new interest.
The Ruse:
Luke Andrews, Baron of Stockport, is in trouble. He needs a wealthy bride to secure future funds for his financially shaky estate, but the lovely lady who’s caught his eye doesn’t have two sticks to rub together — literally.
Heart of Delight:
He’ll do anything to be her heart’s delight — except tell the truth.
Mischief on Albemarle:
Miss Beryl Wentworth is silently, desperately in love with her childhood friend, Finian Fitzwilliam, who unfortunately still treats her as if willing to shove her into the nearest mud puddle... until a quite charming rake asks her for the first two dances at the Hanover Square assembly room
The Respectable Charades:
Jenny’s betrothed committed suicide and everyone blames her for it. When she’s forced into marrying his cold elder brother, is her last chance for love gone?

Better Than Catnip!

It's here! My newest humorous, sweet romance, "Better Than Catnip" is now available at Astraea Press (which has several different formats at checkout to choose from)  Amazon, and Barnes and Noble. Here's the scoop:


Roxy Williams adores cats. Always has. That’s why she devotes her life to running her stray cat shelter. But is that enough? Isn’t there a man out there who will love her for who she is? A special man who won’t try to change her or ask her to choose between him and her cats?

Max Weller has a problem. His son, Derek, must complete community service for fighting at school. The only available place is the stray cat shelter. But Derek is terrified of cats from a frightening childhood experience. How will they get through this traumatic experience?

Roxy and Max feel the strong attraction pulling them together as Max volunteers at the shelter, too. Will they be able to keep the spark alive? Or will Derek’s fears come between them?

A Kindle of Kittens

Between the holidays and a family member's illness, I haven't posted much lately. But, hopefully that is changing. We've all been busy with holiday gatherings, parties, and get-togethers. They're wonderful! But also, somewhat tiring and time-consuming. Too bad we can't spread them out during the whole year instead of lumped together in December.

That being said, I'm back to posting. (Obviously :)).

My husband was thoughtful enough to get me a Kindle for Christmas. He knows how much I like to read, and how quickly I can go through a book. I can buy an armload of paperbacks, and be through with them in no time. That's what my sister and I refer to as a book emergency - when you're through with your stack of books, and haven't had time to go out and buy more. Then what are you supposed to read? The back of a cereal box? Believe me, they're not that exciting. I've given it a try.

So my Kindle arrived two days ago. The set-up took longer than I expected, only because I couldn't find the password to our network. We'd changed it to something simple so we could remember it. But, of course, we couldn't. Remember it, that is...

Once that was settled, it was a breeze. Books downloaded in a flash. It still amazes me that thousands of books can fit in that thin, teeny tiny apparatus. And it looks especially fetching in its hot pink cover. I wondered if that would keep my husband from borrowing it. But so far, he still seems interested. That's okay. I don't mind sharing. :)

I found something out, though, when I was researching the Kindle. Did you know that the word "Kindle" also means a group of kittens? I was shocked. Not so much that miniature cats and an e-reader share the same name, but more because since I'm such a cat fanatic, I'd never known that before! How could that bit of feline trivia escaped me for all these years?

I also learned that the names for a group of adult cats are: clowder or cluster. Oh, and a large group of cats is a clan.

Okay, probably more information about cats than you ever wanted to know. So, I'll go back and spend some more time with my Kindle. (The e-reader, not the kittens.)
