Seven Things About Me

1. My first appearance on stage came very early in my life...while in nursery school. I think I played a gypsy.

2. My first kiss was in the first grade given to me by my boyfriend.  What can I say, I was very precocious.

3. I can tie a cherry stem into a knot with my tongue.

4. I love to eat sushi.  If I could afford it, I would eat sushi every single day, especially spicy tuna rolls.

5.  When I was 16, I lived with a family in Redbridge, Ilford, Essex for a month which makes me an Essex Girl by osmosis.  Since then I’ve been to traveled to the UK at least 20 times.

6. I’ve read almost every single Agatha Christie novel.

Reign: Episode 3 Recap

  I finally got a chance to watch last week's episode of REIGN. OMG, you guy, so much happened to our girl Mary this week. - England sent troops to the Scottish border which sent Mary into a tizzy when her cousin Claude de Guise showed up to tell her. (Given how long it took news to arrive, are we to assume that the English troops just camped out on the border hoping for a fight?) - She asked King Henri for troops to help Scotland and he said 'no way.' - She kicked a ball around with Prince Charles. - She climbed a tree and then got stuck. - She met Tomas, the sexy illegitimate son of the King of Portugal. - She broke the girl code, spending time with Tomas, even though she knew Greer liked him. - She offered to sell Tomas timber in exchange for troops. Instead he wanted to marry her. Something about her 'wildness' appealed to him. - She did a sexy dance with Tomas at a ball, which consisted of a lot of dipping and lifting, wearing a dress that looked like a ...

review: ROYAL MISTRESS by Anne Easter Smith

Title:   Royal Mistress Author:   Anne Easter Smith Publisher:    Touchstone Publication Date:   May 7, 2013 How Acquired:   Through Net Galley What it’s About:   Jane Lambert, the quick-witted and alluring daughter of a silk merchant, is twenty-two and still unmarried. When Jane’s father finally finds her a match, she’s married off to the dull, older silk merchant William Shore.

Edward IV has everything: power, majestic bearing, superior military leadership, a sensual nature, and charisma. And with Jane as his mistress, he also finds true happiness. But when his hedonistic tendencies get in the way of being the strong leader England needs, his life, as well as those of Jane and Will Hastings, hangs in the balance. Jane must rely on her talents to survive as the n...

Review: The Ashford Affair by Lauren Willig

Title: The Ashford Affair Author:   Lauren Willig Publisher: St. Martin's Press Publication date: 4/9/2013 I have to preface this review by saying that I have had the privilege of getting to Lauren over the past five or six years through RWA conferences and Lady Jane’s Salon. I’m also huge fan of her Pink Carnation series, particularly A Very Turnip Christmas which for some reason she insists on calling The Mischief of the Mistletoe .   She’s not only a fantastic writer, but she’s also an extremely nice person, witty and intelligent.   And if that weren’t bad enough, she wears ridiculously cute dresses.   Seriously, even at eight months pregnant, she’s still adorable. Oh and she bakes as well. It’s absolutely too, too sick-making as Lady Beatrice Gillecote would say. So when I had the opportunity to read Lauren’s first stand-alone historical novel, I couldn’t say no.   Especially once I learned that the book was set during the 1920’s in England and Kenya. ...
