It shouldn’t surprise anyone to learn that Turnip Fitzhugh, hero of The Mischief of the Mistletoe, has something of a sweet tooth. Turnip may not be so keen on mince pie, but he has a distinct taste for raspberry jam (both as comestible and metaphor).

We always hear about the wicked stepmothers… but what about their positive counterparts? While we’re all celebrating the wonderful mothers in our lives (hi, Mom!), there was an excellent piece in Dear Author today about the good mothers of romance fiction. When you think of it, there are quite a few. Who [...]
