About this Blog

What is on this blog? Well, I would love to tell you! First of all, as a romance writer you will find links to all my books. I love playful sensual heroes and heroines, and lots of humor. The black moments in my books are very few, and I hope that you will be left smiling. 
But there is so much more than my books on this blog. As a writer of historical romance, I am of course, also a history lover.  My personal favorites are Regency and Tudor.
I grew up in England and I was lucky enough to be exposed to a lot of English history, not just in the school room, but in my home life, thanks to my history loving mom, as well as on school visits to many historic locations. But I left England when I was very young and have only recently returned. So in order to quench my thirst for history in all its forms, I have spent the last few years visiting as many historic locations as possible. 

Since my return I have visited Haddon Hall, Hardwick Hall, and Chatsworth House, Belton House, Highclere Castle (Downton Abbey) Osborne House (former home of Queen Victoria), Carisbrooke Castle which has an amazing connection to Warrior the War Horse (who was featured in the movie War Horse), Newstead Abbey, Nottingham Castle, The Portsmouth Historic Dockyards, and many more.
I have added many of my photographs in the pages listed at the right of the home page, but I would encourage everyone to explore the official sites of these wonderful homes too.
