The week of February 7th is officially Orchid Week! I’m going to be doing a reading and signing pretty much every night next week. Here’s the itinerary: – Monday, February 7, 7:00 New York, NY Lady Jane’s Salon Madame X, 2nd Floor 94 W Houston Street – Tuesday, February 8, 7:30 Bailey’s Crossroads, Virginia 5871 [...]

There was a fabulous review of The Orchid Affair in the latest edition of the Historical Novels Review, saying all sorts of nice things about Orchid. Unfortunately, I don’t have a link to link to, but I had to share my favorite line from the review: “Will [Laura and Andre] fall in love? Was Bonaparte [...]

The snow may have tried its best, but there WILL be a DC reading! The Bailey’s Crossroads event in Virginia has been rescheduled for February 8 at 7:30 in the evening, at 5871 Crossroads Center Way. Hope to see you there!

I’ll be speaking at the Harvard Coop in Cambridge tonight at 7:00. Hope to see you there!

Something about snow screams “comfort read!” Among those comfort reads are: – Elizabeth Peters, Street of the Five Moons Peters’ historical Amelia Peabody books are great, but my favorites will always be her Vicky Bliss series, about a (comparatively) modern art [...]

We’ve seen The Orchid Affair in many inventive places over the past week (the Texas/Arkansas border, Yellowstone, Germany), but, thanks to you, it’s now made it somewhere else: onto the New York Times extended bestseller list!

Although it’s still unclear just how much snow there will be, the very nice folks at the bookstore warned me that there was a good [...]

Whatever happened to that maddening poet, Augustus Whittlesby? We met him first in Pink Carnation, driving Gaston Delaroche to distraction with happy, happy verses, and then again in Black Tulip, delivering odes to his own Pulchritudinous Princess, Jane Wooliston. It’s been a while, but Augustus– and his odes– are back.
