Penelopeep dives into the Krishna River to rescue Freddy’s groom in this scene from The Betrayal of the Blood Lily, recreated by Christine. Typical Pen– she just dives right in! On the shore, the onlookers panic. (Check out the scenic view from the Krishna in the background!) Meanwhile, back on the raft, Alex throws a [...]

An homage to The Masque of the Black Tulip! From Shenandoah, we have the dramatic capture of the Marquise de Montpeep. Lord Vaughn is the blue peep in the silver cravat. Turnip is styling a pink cravat (probably with carnations on it), while Miles and Henrietta are the yellow peeps exchanging soulful glances. The Marquise [...]

This could be more aptly called Monthly Reading Round-Up. What with this and that, I’ve sadly neglected Weekly Reading Round-Up for the past few weeks. In recompense, here’s the latest haul: – Rosemary Clement-Moore, The Splendor Falls. I’ve long been a fan of Rosemary Clement-Moore’s Maggie books (girl versus evil!), but hadn’t read her stand-alone [...]

We have another Mispeep of the Mistletoe! In this rendition, by Sarah, Turnip looks on through the window as an agitated Miss Climpson informs Lizzy that, “We do not sit on people!” Sally appears to have fallen over the chair again. Next to the pageant, this is one of my favorite Mistletoe scenes. So, just [...]

Candace and Cassandra present… “Peepmas at Girdings”. I love that this combines both The Temptation of the Night Jasmine and The Mischief of the Mistletoe. As the house party at Girdings goes out into the woods to collect the Yuletide greenery on Christmas Eve, we can find Charlotte, in her red cloak, and Penelope, with [...]

Every now and then, I have to stop and remind myself what’s happening when. Here’s the Pink publication schedule between now and January: – October 11: “A Night at Northanger” (Jane Austen Made Me Do It). – November 1: The Mischief of the Mistletoe trade paperback. – early January: The Orchid Affair trade paperback (date [...]

It may be a bit premature to bring out the outtakes before, oh, the actual book, but I couldn’t resist sharing this snippet from Pink IX, featuring– who else?– everyone’s favorite chaperone, Miss Gwen.

This just in: “The Mispeep of the Mistletoe” by Kayse. Clarissa’s history paper scatters across the floor as Turnip flees out the window– without, of course, disarranging his incredibly natty cravat. More Pinkorama coming soon!

If you missed the Vroman’s signing last night, fear not! You have a second chance for me to scribble in your Pink books. Romantic Times is hosting a huge mass signing at the Westin Bonaventure on Saturday, between 11:00 and 2:00. (Caveat: There is a $5 admission fee.) From what I hear, there should be [...]

Peep in knee breeches? Indeed! Here’s “Ivy & Peeptrigue” (based on “Ivy & Intrigue“), the first of the Peeporama entries– and it sets a very, very high bar. The Peeple Gentian swings to the rescue! And now for his close-up… … as Deirdre shies back in alarm… …and Amy looks on admiringly. Isn’t that miniature [...]
