Otherwise known as “Peck, my peeps! Peck!” In this flashback to The Deception of the Emerald Ring, brought to us by Kate, Christine, Jess, and Yao, it’s 2003 and Eloise is hard at work at her favorite desk in the British Library reading room. (Check out her tiny laptop!) Meanwhile, back in 1803, Miss Gwen [...]

With four days until 2011, here’s a bit from fall ’06 and The Deception of the Emerald Ring. Although there are oh-so-many moments that delight me in the historical sections ofEmerald Ring (two words: sideburns and chickens), I decided to mix it up a bit and go with one of the Eloise and Colin bits. [...]

Oooops! What with the long weekend and all, I missed the UK release day of The Deception of the Emerald Ring. Emerald Ring made its official UK debut yesterday, 6 September. Happy belated birthday, Emerald Ring! (It’s no secret that this is one of my very favorite covers.)

The winner of the last copy of the UK edition of The Deception of the Emerald Ring is… … Shannon C. (of comment #94). Congrats, Shannon! Many thanks to my fabulous friend, the mysterious “chbs”, for ceding her share of the spoils….

Guess what just arrived in the mail today? Gorgeous, hot-off-the-presses copies of the British edition of The Deception of the Emerald Ring. Emerald Ring makes its official UK debut on 6 September, 2010. In the meantime, the books are too pretty not to share. I’ll be giving away three copies to people chosen at random [...]

The Deception of the Emerald Ring has a glamorous new look for its English debut. Emerald Ring comes out in the UK in early September. There’s something about this cover that makes me think a little bit about Cinderella (very fitting for Letty!) and a little bit about classic romantic suspense novels, a la Mary [...]

My family has a holiday tradition of giving each other movies– almost always BBC comedies or costume dramas– and then watching them all in great, multi-hour marathons. One of this year’s BBC haul was Lark Rise to Candleford, from which my little sister chose this actress to play Letty from Deception of the Emerald Ring: [...]
