A fun Facebook group for fans of traditional Regency romance! <\/strong><\/em>I’ve got together with several other authors of Regency romances to create a salon for Regency fans to meet. We share our new releases, teasers, giveaways, sales, and other delightful treats, and (naturally) talk about our favourite Regency reads. All my new friends write (and read) the same style of Regency that I write – “Sizzle in the drawing room, not the bedroom.”<\/em><\/p>\n

If you’re a Facebook user and you’d like to join us, you’ll receive a very warm welcome to Lady Catherine’s Salon from me and all my new friends. Come along and say hello! Click here<\/a> to join.<\/p>\n

FOOTNOTE: <\/strong><\/em>The lovely lady in my avatar is Archduchess Clementina of Austria (1798-1881), Princess of Salerno, painted around 1839 (a little outside the Regency era, but it’s such a gorgeous picture, I couldn’t resist).<\/p>\n
