In Jane Austen’s Persuasion, Captain Wentworth returns to England a richer man thanks to having won prize money. Both army and navy personnel could be awarded prize money. I wrote two articles for The Coffee Pot Book Club about this. Thanks to Mary Anne Yarde for hosting them.

Molly’s Tale

What does a romance look like from below stairs? Molly’s Tale is a parallel romance to A Suitable Match (Book 2 in the Marstone Series), covering some of the same events as the main book from the point of view of Bella’s maid, Molly. Molly has her own adventures and troubles, and her own romance.

On pre-order now. When published, it will also be in Kindle Unlimited.

The Marstone Series

A duelling viscount, a courageous poor relation and an overbearing lord–just a few of the memorable cast of characters you will meet in the Marstone series. From windswept Devonshire, to Georgian London and revolutionary France, true love is always on the horizon and shady dealings often afoot.

Each book can be read as a standalone, but will be more enjoyable if read in sequence. More details here.

The companion novel Molly’s Tale is currently on pre-order for release in June. The full length novels are available on Kindle and Kindle Unlimited. Sauce for the Gander is also available as an audio book. (If the links here do not work for your country, click on the links on the main book page.) The four full-length novels are also available as a box set (ebook and KU only).
