Book News – Love and Lunacy

Now available for Kindle, Nook, Sony, Kobo and other readers!

Kate Girard of RT online calls Deceptive Behavior a “delightful Regency farce.” The book, which is the third in my “Love and Lunacy” series, had a limited release in July and is now finally available in multiple formats. Fans of the Love and Lunacy series will appreciate further experimental exploits of Geoffrey and Helen, but the story was written to stand on its own, so readers need not be familiar with the first two books in the series in order to enjoy Deceptive Behavior.

If you want to read the series in order, however, the first book, A Certain Want of Reason, is available in ebook for less than $1.99 (so it qualifies for the Value Menu)!

As reviewer Kate Girard further explains “While the hero and heroine are both interesting and sympathetic characters, it is the secondary cast that truly steals this show. The eccentric siblings Helen and Geoffrey and the parents of all of the families attending this small house party create moments of comic genius that make this story stand out from the crowd.” I had so much fun writing this story and it’s gratifying to find that readers enjoy it, too. You can read more about it here or click on the cover.

And Helen now finally has her own story. “Dinners with Mr. Danville” takes place a number of years later, after Helen has learned to temper her eccentric behavior. But her keen scientific mind is more active than ever and ready to analyze the strange sensations of love and attraction. Just what do the treatises of the Royal Society have to do with romance? Find out by reading Helen’s story. You can learn more by clicking on the cover or on the books page.

Mysteries Now Available in Ebook

The Karen Maxwell mysteries are out in ebook as part of the Spyglass Lane Mysteries series, which just launched. George Washington Stepped Here is now available for only 99¢! The covers leave a little something to be desired but new ones are on the way.

In honor of the release, I have a new interview up talking about the books at The Suspense Zone and I’m blogging about the use of history in a modern story on the Spyglass Lane website. You can find George on Smashwords and Kindle and the second book, Worth its Weight in Old has just been released on Smashwords, also for 99¢.  My latest post on the Spyglass site discusses the pros and cons of using a private investigator as the heroine in a cozy mystery.

I could post the cover of the second mystery, but in ebook it looks exactly the same as the first. (Except for the words, that is) To see more interesting covers and read descriptions of the books, look here.

TOTO’s TALE
by K.D. Hays and Meg Weidman

Find out what really happened in Oz.

Everyone knows how Dorothy and Toto save Oz from the Wicked Witch of West…or do they?  How will Dorothy survive in a land filled with haunted bags of straw, hollow metal men and giant smelly cats?

How will she fight off killer bees, mad wolves and really annoying monkeys?  And how will Dorothy ever find the way home?

The simple truth is that she won’t, at least not alone. Of course, she’s not alone – she has Toto, her best friend.  But in Oz, Dorothy spends more time talking to a cat than to her…

The Appearance of Impropriety

What happened to the women left behind in A Certain Want of Reason?

 

While Sophie’s sister and Helen’s brother are working their way out of a rest home for the mentally disturbed, the two find themselves with some unwanted adventures of their own.

Helen defends one of her experiments, Sophie defends Helen, and in the process, they ruin a young man’s chance for employment. So they decide it is their duty to find him another position, even though he doesn’t want them to.

“…a very good Regency romance told from a slightly different perspective with a great deal of humor.”
