It was common for a Regency gentleman to be referred to as 'Foxed' 
or 'In his cups' if he was drunk or tipsy. 
Something we often refer to in our Regency rakes.


Many of us who love to read these days, may have fallen into the category of 
bluestocking in Regency England. Though books would have been enormously expensive, 
you would have needed to find a lending library.


The cut direct was a very public and purposeful way of humiliating someone
 in Regency England, usually by simply turning away.

Hello and Welcome

Hello! I had to take a little break from writing for a while, but I've decided to return by putting all my books back into Kindle Unlimited, so perhaps anyone who hasn't read my books yet would like to give them a try. I will be writing again and publishing soon, but in the meantime, whether you just love the Regency genre, or you are a fellow writer, I've decided to add a few more posts to my writers tool kit that I hope you will enjoy. 

Did you know that reading aloud is quite good for you? It helps you to retain information as you're hearing as well as seeing the words. So if you have a tough day writing, start by reading aloud a favorite chapter, or simply one of the word lists in my writers tool kit, it might help you to decide exactly what color hair, eyes, temperament etc; to give your characters, and to get those creative juices flowing.

I'm also begining a series of small snippets of Regency Language, they would make great little posts to stick on your notice board, so whether you like a long list, or a short little nugget of information, you'll find them right here on my blog for free.
