Character Spotlight: Carolyn Miller’s Cecelia & Edward

Australian (yay!) author Carolyn Miller returns with her second Daughters of Aynsley historical romance, continuing her very successful foray into Regency romance. The Daughters of Aynsley is Carolyn’s third Regency Brides series following on from Regency Brides: A Legacy of Grace and Regency Brides: The Promise of Hope, so if you are yet to read a Miller romance you have a great backlist to enjoy. I hope you enjoy getting to know the lovely Cecy and Ned from Underestimating Miss Cecelia, then be sure to read the book and discover why you should never underestimate a woman, especially the quiet …

Top Ten Tuesday: Books with Animals on the cover

As we love our pooch so very much, this freebie Top Ten Tuesday post – hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl – highlights books I own that feature animals on their covers. Most are dogs, of course, but I’ve discovered a variety of animals amongst my bookshelves! It was fun to scroll through my books and select ones that I’ve read (for the most part) and loved. Angela Hunt’s cover has since changed, but I’ve included the original here as it is the one I own and I think it is fabulous! I love the mix of genres featured in …

Cover Art & Book News: Coming in early 2020 from Tyndale House

Tyndale House Publishers has some fabulous stories and appealing covers coming readers’ way in early 2020, and I’m finally getting them posted her on the blog.

They pen real people – in as much as imaginary characters can be labelled real – who wrestle with everyday issues and respond naturally. While these two covers aren’t my favourite of theirs, they reflect the stories inside.

I do love T.I’s and Heidi’s covers. …

Top Ten Tuesday: Auto-buy Authors

Back with another Top Ten Tuesday post, hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, and initially I thought this would be easy…until I got to 9 and realised I only had one spot left and many authors to add! Auto-buy authors for me, are ones that make my gut clench, engage my brain, and evoke an emotional reaction. The ones below do that and then some which is why they have made my top ten today…and why there’s some additional names below because ten just wasn’t enough for me!

Authors are a special breed of people whom I admire so …
