 DUKE OF SECRETS is officially out today! I'm very excited about this book! A juicy winter's tale with gothic undertones, a dark, tortured hero, a sharp, determined heroine -- and cameo appearances by certain Inferno Club members from my last series (you won't believe why!!) Thanks in advance if you decide to go and check it out. It's been a long time coming! :) ~xoxo Gaelen Duke of Secrets Everything Lady Serena Parker thought she knew about her own life has just proved a lie. Now, only one man can lead her to the truth… But at what price?
When shocking family secrets emerge, they turn Lady Serena Parker’s world upside-down, sending the bold, raven-haired beauty on a quest to find answers. Ironically, her search soon points her right across the street, to the home of her most mysterious neighbor in Moonlight Square — the elusive and solitary Azrael, Duke of Rivenwood. The rich, enigmatic nobleman alone may possess the knowledge she craves, but Serena knows she must approach with caution. For, shadowed by rumors of a dark and tragic past, Azrael is heir to family secrets even more dangerous than her own. Once she captivates the duke’s smoldering passion, however, gaining his help may cost Serena more than she ever dreamed… Welcome back to Moonlight Square ~ Regency London’s most intriguing address!

Ta-daaa! DUKE OF SECRETS is with the copyeditor, which means we're in the home stretch of production! We're not having a pre-order for this one, so please make sure you're subscribed to my Mailing List if you'd like to receive an email alert as soon as it goes on sale. MUCH more to come on this juicy winter's tale, but if you're curious, a rough guess of the on-sale date for DUKE OF SECRETS would be right around the end of the Feb.
Regency folk were a sociable bunch, and the Easter Season (Easter through Ascension forty days later) was considered a time of visiting and traveling. But on the day of Easter itself, here's what you could expect to find in a nice Regency home. It's all about the food, the decor, and of course, the bonnets. :) On the Table
On the Lady
Out & About  7. Easter Flowers White lilies--the symbol of purity--and narcissus are most commonly associated with Easter, along with daffodils and tulips. But traditionally, the true "Easter Flower" is the pussy willow. 8. Traditional Easter Music Good Regency folk like vicar's daughter Jane Austen, upon attending Easter morning services, would thrill to beloved traditional hymns like this... (Here's the link for those of you on RSS.) 9. Morris Dancers Adding to the festive atmosphere, Morris dancers commonly performed throughout Holy Week and even on Easter day, and then into spring. Because real men wear flowers and ribbons on their hats!!! :) Adorable.   Manchester MM Oxford May Morning 2012 (photo: P Rutter) Via www.themorrisring.org. 10. Merry Mischief ~ Regional Pranks The Brits are world-famous for their sense of humor, so it's easy to see how this sort of Easter day silliness could take hold. From the Every Day Book, from "Easter Celebrations in the UK" posted here: Easter Day Customs at Rippon, 1790 On Easter Sunday, as soon as the church services were over, the boys ran about the streets, and laid hold of every woman or girl they could, they would then take their buckles from their shoes. This farce was continued till the next day at noon, when the females began and returned the compliment upon the men, this did not end till Tuesday evening. At one time, no traveller could pass through the town without being stopped and having his spurs taken away, unless redeemed by a little money, which was the only way to have your buckles returned.  Thanks for visiting my blog, friends, and I hope you enjoy a lovely Easter with your nearest and dearest!
Peace to all in this very special season, Gaelen :) |
