Lady Elinors Escape coverLady Elinor’s Escape
Traditional (Sweet) Regency Romance

In disguise and running for her life, Lady Elinor meets a barrister adept at discovering secrets. Can he learn her secret in time to save both their lives?

Lady Elinor Ashworth always longed for adventure, but when she runs away from her abusive aunt, she finds more than she bargained for. Elinor fears her aunt who is irrational and dangerous, threatening Elinor and anyone she associates with. When she encounters an inquisitive gentleman, she accepts his help, but fearing for his safety, hides her identity by pretending to be a seamstress. She resists his every attempt to draw her out, all the while fighting her attraction to him.

There are too many women in barrister Stephen Chaplin’s life, but he has never been able to turn his back on a damsel in distress. The younger son of a baronet is a ‘rescuer’ of troubled females, an unusual vocation fueled by guilt over his failure to save the woman he loved from her brutal husband. He cannot help falling in love with his secretive seamstress, but to his dismay, the truth of her background reveals Stephen as the ineligible party.

History Talks Victorian PanelMark your calendar for Jan 7th!

I will be speaking on a panel for History Talks, sponsored by The Glendale Historical Society and the Southern California Chapter of the Historical Novel Society. This free virtual event, takes place on Thursday, January 7th at 7PM. Authors Jeri Westerson, A. E. Wasserman, Colleen Fliedner and I will discuss Life, Death and Medicine in the Victorian era. Author Anne Louise Bannon will moderate.

Living in the Victorian Age brought with it challenges that are distant to our modern world. Travel back in time with our panel of historical authors as they discuss daily hazards like gunshot wounds and concussions, treatment by medical doctors and indigenous healers, the establishment of poor farms for the mentally ill and indigents, mourning etiquette, and more.
