G.G., wonderful banner pic for your blog. I followed links and ended up with one of your Regencies--because you get Georgette Heyer's humor. I've been adding her books to my iPod through Audible and listen as I cook or walk. I'm sure those coming upon me wonder why I'm giggling. . .

Great review Barbara.

Congrats Danielle!

It's all good!

The review makes you want to snuggle up in front of the fire with a cozy blanket,  persimmon tea and settle down for a long, satisfying and soulful read.

Well done! 

And here's to a million snugglers~

Ladies, hello. I'm doing a bit of catch up here as I've come rather late to the party, but you've such good news that I must at least congratulate the latest. Barbara, what a thrilling thing to have a review in Publishers Weekly. And Danielle, congratulations on your book contract.

My historical novel "Tributary" just earned a review in Publishers Weekly. So happy I could pop a gusset!
