2016 is the 200-year anniversary of The Year Without a Summer. Due to a huge volcanic eruption of Mount Tambora, Europe and North America suffered severe weather in 1816, especially in summer, when it snowed in New York!

To celebrate this anniversary, Five authors have written the Regency collection A YEAR WITHOUT A DUKE, 5 stories that take place in 1816 and revolve around the missing Duke of Beckworth The stories (which can also be read as standalones) will be released in the next month and are so much fun!

My story is #4, and it’s called AN AFFAIR IN AUTUMN. For those of you who’ve read my House of Trent series, this story features Mark, one of the brothers of the House of Trent.
We can’t wait to share A YEAR WITHOUT A DUKE with all of you!

Captured by a Celtic Warrior, a collection of novellas written by Jennifer Haymore, Eliza Knight, Vonda Sinclair, and Kris Kennedy. It was so fun to get together with three other historical romance authors and write about the heroes who possess a legendary dagger through the ages!

From the back cover: “Bestselling and award-winning authors bring you four never-before-published novellas of searing passions that span the ages.
Four fierce warriors from Ireland and Scotland…
Four heroines determined to resist them…
One dagger steeped in the blood and treachery of kings.”

My novella is called HER WICKED HIGHLANDER. It’s part of the Highland Knights series and features a new knight, Max White, with orders to keep a young woman safe–only this Highland lass gives him a little more trouble than he bargained for… 😉

It releases February 16 and is up for preorder on Amazon!

A Highlander’s Heart has a brand-new look in order to match the other books in the Highland Knights Series. Here’s the new cover. Isn’t it pretty?

To celebrate the sale price of $0.99 for A HIGHLANDER’S HEART and MUST LOVE BREECHES, Angela Quarles and I are giving away two $25 Amazon Gift Cards!

I’m researching traveling across the Atlantic Ocean in the early 1800’s–what passengers should bring for such a journey, in particular. The book I’m reading says steerage passengers by law are required to bring 80 lbs of meat each (80 lbs! How does all that keep for a sail across the Atlantic?!). It also says:

Eggs to be kept in Bran and frequently turned, 10 lbs butter, Milk will keep if boiled and mixed with sugar in the proportion of 2 1bs to the quart.[…] If there are females in the party there should be some fowls.

–History of North America, Vol 2

Interesting ways to keep Eggs and Milk fresh. Huh.
But wait! Why only bring fowl if there are women in your party? I would love to ask this author the logic behind that…

I’m so excited to share the cover for Highland Heat, my November release. It’s been a while since my last release, so I’m really looking forward to this one!!

Here’s the cover for Swept Away, Volume 4. It releases on December 1! These covers for this series have to be my favorite covers of all my books. They’re so accurate to the story, and so pretty! What do you think?
