Seasonal Historical Romance ahead!

No, not the Christmas season. The Halloween season! We’ve got less than two weeks to go before Great Pumpkin time. Are you excited? Or, like me, are you stll trying to figure out costumes for your kids?

Rectangular graphic depicts a black crown on the left, with spiderwebs in the background. On the right are two copies of a book called “Ghosts, Graveywards, and Grey Ladies,” published by “Dragonblade.” The book cover depicts a gray-haired woman in a red dress.

This year, I have a story appearing in Dragonblade’s Halloween anthology. “Stranger at the Crossroads” features an impoverished gentlewoman, a widowed baronet, and a haunted (?) meet-cute. It’s my first foray into writing Victorian historical romance, as the story is set in 1841. I hope my readers enjoy it!

The anthology releases on October 26. It will be available on Kindle Unlimited, but if you’re a Netgalley reviewer, you can grab an ARC now!

On October 26, we’re going to celebrate the anthology’s release with an all-day event at the Dragonblade Publishing Reader’s Group. Each author is allotted a half-hour slot. I’ll be active from 11:30 AM-Noon (Pacific time), but pop in whenever you can to interact with authors and readers.
