Love's Perilous Road, a Bluestocking Belles Collection with Friends

It was a great honor to be asked to contribute to this wonderful collection!

Travel, house parties, smugglers, spies, a ghost--and a mysterious highwayman. Who is the infamous Captain Moonlight? And how many lives will he change--for good or for ill?

It's the autumn of 1817 and Sir Peter Somerville and his lady are hosting a house party at their estate near Brighton, while a pesky highwayman plagues the surrounding byways.

 

Love's Perilous Road features stories by Jude Knight, Sherry Ewing, Carolyn Warfield, Cerise Deland, Rue Allyn, Elizabeth Ellen Carter, Alina K. Field, and friends of the Bluestocking Belles Mary Lancaster, Meara Platt, and Barbara Monajem. (That's me!)  

 

Here’s a little blurb from my story in this collection, One Good Wager Leads to Another:

 

Widowed Thisbe Rose escapes her controlling father and moves into the haunted cottage she inherited. She’s not afraid of ghosts, smugglers, and highwaymen—but she’s not so sure about the oddest housekeeper she’s ever seen.

 

Former spy Gervaise Transom wagers a friend he can spend months disguised as a housekeeper without being caught. When Thisbe moves into the haunted cottage, he should leave, to protect her reputation—but he also must stay, to keep her safe.

 

Not only that, he’s sure he met her once many years ago…

My post at Teatime Tattler, a #giveaway, and coming soon: TRR's summer party

Today I'm the guest of the Bluestocking Belles at their Teatime Tattler. They ask for a piece of original writing, so I had fun doing this one!! It's related to Lady of the Flames, but the character who's speaking is Dunstan Tull, the compiler of an encyclopedia of not-so-mythical beings. Some of his definitions are found at the beginning of my Bayou Gavotte books, which take place 200 years later. I wonder if Dunstan is a time traveler... I'm pretty sure he has visited the house below.

The Old Hall, John Anster Fitzgerald, 1875
