Crimson Rose Book Club: Favorite Scene

Tuesday, January 20th, 2009

In each of my books, there is always one scene or passage that pops out for me, that makes me feel good about my writing and the book I’m in the process of producing. For The Secret History of the Pink Carnation, it was the mad mob scene in Richard’s Paris drawing room [...]

Purple Gentian at Large!

Sunday, January 11th, 2009

Just when you thought it was safe to open the covers of another book…. Lord Richard Selwick, aka the Purple Gentian, may be feeling a bit espionage-challenged these days (otherly agented? my PC speak is rusty), but there is no denying that he gets around. The Purple Gentian has escaped [...]
