Regencies Rule! Why is that?

Today the 3rd in my best-selling Regency series debuts at wwww.resplendencepublishing.com and I am tickled about it and the success of The Stanhope Challenge books.

MISS DARLING'S INDECENT OFFER was a joy to write.

Today I ponder with you the undying popularity of Regency romances.

WHY IS THAT?

I have heard so many explanations.

1. Jane Austen's enduring popularity.

2. A gracious era.

3. The last gracious era.

4. A time of peace after decades of war.

5. A lighthearted moment in time.

6. The dawn of the modern era.

7. The explosion of wealth among the English.

8. The dawn of the Second Empire, before the challenges of ruling those colonies became a burden.

What are your thoughts on the popularity of Regency romances?

Would love to hear them!

And do go read this newest, and tell me what you think.

The first 2 (LORD STANHOPE'S IMPROPER PROPOSAL and LADY FEATHERSTONE'S FERVENT AFFAIR) have hit the top ten list for months now at AllRomanceEbooks.com and at Fictionwise.com as well as at Resplendence, too.

Ciao, bella!

New covers, New Regency romanticas

Celebrating and doing the Snoopy Dance over these covers to launch my quintet of Regencies over at Resplendence Publishing! http://www.resplendencepublishing.com/

Yes, FIVE of them!

THE STANHOPE CHALLENGE stars a family of siblings who understand the family curse will attack each of them.

The Curse?

Since Charles II took a Stanhope wife from her beloved husband and made her his mistress, no Stanhope has ever had a happy marriage.

Pity the three Stanhope brothers, their half sister...and to their shock, their bastard half-brother! Each of them can love, but none, they fear, can have a happy marriage!

You do want to come and see if they can change all that bad luck.

June 29, Lord Stanhope's Improper Proposal debuted.

Stay tuned for the date of the FREE READ about their sister, Lady Ramsey's Ribald Choices.

August 11, Lady Featherstone's Fervent Affair comes out.

November 17 sees the debut of Miss Darling's Indecent Offer and in February, The Bastard's Precious Prize.

Happy reading!
