Lady Rosamund is back...with a confession! Or two...

 

Lady Rosamund Confesses, a novella in the Rosie and McBrae Regency Mysteries, is available now!

It takes place immediately after Lady Rosamund and the Plague of Suitors.  

After the terrifying experience of confronting a murderer, Lady Rosamund retreats, along with her father and Gilroy McBrae, to the home of friends in the country for some much-needed relaxation. But before long, they find themselves embroiled in the affairs of a neighboring family, and soon this involves a corpse.

If this isn’t trouble enough, Rosie can’t figure out what McBrae’s intentions are—not to mention her own. Will he ask her to marry him? What will she reply? And what more must she confess before daring to say yes?

New Release! Lady Rosamund and the Horned God


 


Lady Rosamund and the Horned God is book 2 of the Rosie and McBrae Regency Mysteries. The first book was Lady Rosamund and the Poison Pen.

Widowed Lady Rosamund spends the first months of her mourning in the Lake District, where it’s safe and peaceful, and murders are exceedingly rare. Luckily, she is rescued from this tedium by a house party comprised of playwrights, poets, and actors—an immoral set of persons with whom no respectable lady should associate. Even so, she hardly expected to wake in the wee hours to find one of the guests lying dead.

As if that wasn’t troublesome enough, Gilroy McBrae is at the same party, masquerading as a footman to investigate a series of thefts. Was the sudden death an accident—or murder? Almost everyone had reason to loathe their unpleasant fellow guest. Rosie must set aside her confused emotions about McBrae and work with him to find the culprit before an innocent person is accused of the crime.

At the moment only the Amazon links are live, but it will be available at other vendors soon.

New Release! Lady Rosamund and the Poison Pen

Happy Book Birthday to me! It's been years since I started writing about Lady Rosamund, and now, at last, the first book in her series is out.


This is a new sort of book for me. 1) It's a Regency historical mystery, not a romance. Some of my romances are also mysteries, but the mystery usually takes second place to the romantic part of the story. The Lady Rosamund series as a whole will have a romance running through it, but the main focus in each book will be the mystery. And 2) It's written in first person -- that is, from the intimate point of view of one character, as if she is speaking to the reader.

(Actually, I have written in first person before. When I was thirteen years old, I wrote a story inspired by something that had happened in real life. Oh, the melodrama! Oh, the teen angst! Fortunately, I never finished it. More recently, I wrote a short story in first person -- a sort of historical time travel -- which was published in the anthology Crime Travel. But I digress -- back to Lady R.)

Here's the blurb of Lady Rosamund and the Poison Pen:

Lady Rosamund Phipps, daughter of an earl, has a secret. Well, more than one. Such as the fact that she’s so uninterested in sex that she married a man who promised to leave her alone and stick to his mistress. And a secret only her family knows—the mortifying compulsion to check things over and over. Society condemns people like her to asylums. But when she discovers the dead body of a footman on the stairs, everything she’s tried to hide for years may be spilled out in broad daylight.

First the anonymous caricaturist, Corvus, implicates Lady Rosamund in a series of scandalous prints. Worse, though, are the poison pen letters that indicate someone knows the shameful secret of her compulsions. She cannot do detective work on her own without seeming odder than she already is, but she has no choice if she is to unmask both Corvus and the poison pen.

Will Corvus prove to be an ally or an enemy? With the anonymous poison pen still out there, her sanity—and her life—are at stake.
