Today we have an interesting excerpt from a historical romance novella by Ute Carbone called Sweet Lenora. I say “interesting” because it is written in the first person point of view, and uses some antique word choices that make the reader really move back in time. Fun stuff! SETUP OF THE SCENE: Lenora Brewer has stowed… Continue Reading
The next (last?) story in my Evolution Series of historical romances set in Charlemagne’s Empire will be released soon. Since I have a regular feature on my blog sharing first meetings, I decided to share this meeting from Little Witch: Historical Romance Novella, between the hero, Nox, and heroine, Salena. EXCERPT As Salena rounded a… Continue Reading
Today on First Sight Saturday, Allison Knight shares an excerpt from her historical romance Lynbrook’s Lady. Setup of the scene: After the death of her father, Abby Whitmore is ordered to England by her half-brother, family she didn’t know she had.

My next book, Little Witch, book four in my Evolution Series, is with beta-readers right now, so I’m trying to spend the time I usually spend writing preparing for its release. As last week’s blog shows, I’ve been tussling around with my log line (one line description). I’ve also been fine-tuning the blurb that you’d usually… Continue Reading

Today I welcome Alison Henderson who shares a first meeting scene from her western historical romance The Treasure of Como Bluff. EXCERPT Como Bluff, Wyoming July 1879 Kaboom! The ground shook, and Caroline Hubbard stumbled to regain her balance. Ears ringing from the blast, she glanced across the rocky, barren landscape and spotted a… Continue Reading
Flag Day, which officially commemorates the adoption of the US Flag on June 14, 1777, has always been a non-holiday on my calendar but in thinking about holidays and books, I realized it is a good excuse to promote my sweet historical romance, Sass Meets Class. Specifically, I am offering a discount through Smashwords so… Continue Reading
Today on First Sight Saturday, I’m sharing the first meeting from my first book! Unbidden has the most traditional hero and heroine of all my books, in my opinion. In this scene, David, a Bavarian soldier, has arrived to escort Rochelle, a woman he has never met, to an interview with the emperor. Unfortunately, her mother… Continue Reading
On First Sight Saturday, I usually feature a guest author, but this week I’m going to be my own guest and share the first meeting between Doeg and Philantha from Redeemed, the second book in my Evolution Series. If you haven’t read the series, Doeg is the villain from the first book, Unbidden. The first… Continue Reading
I’ve been working hard on a new shortish story that will fall after the last book in the Evolution Series. I say “shortish” because it will definitely surpass the 10,500 words I wrote for Second Love: A Short Historical Romance Story. The short story phenomenon is surprising to me, but I had one of my… Continue Reading
