A little something for Feelgood Friday. ♥

“You probably didn’t wake up this morning and think I just wish I was a blue mattress but here you are,” says the Jane Austen Centre. “Life is strange and wonderful when you’re a Janeite.”

A tiny little snippet from The Worst Duke in the World . . .

As a certain smoldering viscount learns to his dismay . . .

My heroine, Jane Kent, was so much fun to write! For one thing, she’s no wilting miss. She grew up on the mean streets of Nantwich: she’s strong and clever and fun and (if I may so myself) absolutely delightful.

Coming your way January 12!

You’re a Regency lady getting ready for the day, and you reach into your jewelry-chest for a ring with which to adorn your hand. Which one do you choose?

. . . for Feelgood Friday! The winsome Hugh Grant. ♥

Delightfully raffish.

Too handsome for Edward Ferrars, but still adorable.

Brooding beautifully.

Also adorable.

I am DEFINITELY an ink drinker. :)

What about you?

This beautiful and evocative illustration is by the gifted artists Anna and Elena Balbusso, commissioned for Alexander Pushkin’s Eugene Onegin. But it also reminds me of my hero Anthony in The Worst Duke in the World, pining for my heroine Jane, who may be lost to him forever.
