Back Home and Last Post

January 2016: I return home and wait for revisions on the final book for Gentlemen of Worth.

It isn’t until the end of February that the revisions arrive. I turn them in before the end of the month.

April 2016: The cover and final edits arrive! In a few days after this post on September 6^th, A Rake Reformed will be available on Amazon.com.

That brings The Gentlemen of Worth series, and this Blog to an end.

This blog wasn’t really what I had envisioned five years ago when it started. I wanted to jot down ideas and sort out fictional situations before I set them in a novel. It didn’t turn out that way. I much preferred to spend my time writing instead of blogging about it.

What’s Next? I have already started another Regency tale. I don’t know if it’s one big book or a series of 2 or 3. As I write that I am plotting a series of Regency Mysteries. That should take a decade or two to finish.

To Blog or Not to Blog . . . that is the question

A new book, a new series, and a not so new author. I’ve never written a series before. Will I like it? Would I do it again?

My only blogging experience is my two week Maui Mini Blog I do every year. Do I want to commit to a Blog? It’s a lot of work.

While reading, rereading the galleys for the first book I realized how much I enjoyed it . . . them, the Worth sisters, and the other characters in the story. Then I wondered if anyone else wanted to find out more about them, details that hadn't made it into the stories, facts only I would know about these people, and how all of this came about.

That is where the idea for this blog came from. The Blog name: The Citrus Parlor? It's the small, cozy parlor at the rear of Faraday Hall where the Worth sisters retire in the evenings. I thought it might be a nice place to meet for news, gossip, discussion, and tea. Unfortunately it’s only virtual tea.
