Happy October!
Hi everyone,
You may not believe what I’m up to this month. After publishing The Footmen’s Club Regency Romance series this past summer, I’m trying something completely new this month and have published a contemporary romantic comedy novel called Hiring Mr. Darcy. This one is going to be in e-book form only and exclusive to Kindle initially.
Here’s a bit about it…
She ’s hiring…
Meg Knightley is a history professor with a little OCD and a lot of love for Pride and Prejudice. When her similarly nerdy history professor boyfriend tosses her over for a starlet on the eve of the Jane Austen Festival and Games, she needs a new Mr. Darcy ASAP.
He’s the man for the job…
Jeremy Remington left a lucrative tech job to follow his dreams—but getting his custom woodworking business off the ground isn’t cheap. When his best friend’s sister offers good money for little more than acting the gentleman, he jumps at the chance. After all, how hard could it be to fly over to England and wear a cravat for a few days?
Until things get real.
She hired him to play the part of a proper gentleman, so why can’t she stop thinking about what’s underneath his waistcoat? And when Meg finds out Jeremy has had a crush on her for years, will the job turn into a permanent gig?
I hope you’ll take the leap with me into rom com (with a Regency theme!), but if contemporary romance isn’t your jam, never fear! I am writing two more books in the Footmen’s Club series.
What I’m Up To…
In September, Mr. Bowman and I decided to make Asheville, NC, a permanent addition to our lives (we love Beer City, USA!) and are purchasing a little cottage on a wooded lot there. We’re so excited to see autumn (as Floridians, this is a big deal)! After we move in in October, I’ll be writing the next two books in the Footman’s Club series while eagerly watching to see if readers are digging Hiring Mr. Darcy. If you read it, I’d be thrilled if you would leave a review!
