You are cordially invited to listen to a sample from the audiobook of my just-released Engaged to the Earl. The narrator, Moira Quirk, is amaaaaaaazing! For one thing, she deftly provides distinctive characterizations for a whole host of people in the story, including my heroine Gwendolyn and hero Christopher; Gwendolyn’s mother and brothers; Katherine and a funny parrot from The Bride Takes a Groom; an earl, his arrogant younger brother, and his suspiciously affable mother; Gwendolyn’s cousin Helen and her rather dotty mother; two Patronesses of Almack’s; a supercilious French nobleman; and none other than the Prince Regent himself!
“A delightfully done friends-to-lovers love story that is fueled by equal measures of sweet charm, sharp wit and heart-melting sexual chemistry.” -Booklist, starred review
Another thing I love is how Quirk leans with such sensitivity into both the humor and the emotionality of the story.

So I’ve been pondering this since Halloween. Apparently “feetloaf” is a thing, and I’m still ambivalent about it. On the one hand, I totally admire the holiday-themed creativity. (And those celery toenails are, admittedly, kinda cool.) On the other hand, I’m . . . squeamish, I guess.
What about you? Would you have a nice juicy slice?
If you’ve been hanging out with me for any length of time, you know that I’m a huge Julia Quinn fan, and that her books have been a major, major inspiration to me. So you can imagine how I felt when she posted this on her Facebook page yesterday:
Yep! Incredibly happy, honored, proud, and grateful. ♥

“A charming Regency romp . . . fast-paced fun.” -BookPage
Wow! What an amazing review for Engaged to the Earl from the Historical Novel Society!
In this Regency romance, two beautiful people fall in love at first sight and get engaged, only to discover they are not suited. Or at least Gwendolyn
Coming your way February 25th, 2020!
Penhallow does, for she is not only beautiful and a member of a highly respected family, but, more importantly, honest and kind. The Earl of Westenbury? Not so much.
By contrast, Gwennie’s childhood friend Christopher Beck is kind, to people and animals both, even if he is not an aristocrat. And unlike the earl, he can be relied upon.
The process by which the pair learn the valuable life lessons that enable them to find happiness together is involving, and it provides an opportunity to comment upon snobbery and various human foibles. There is too a complementary subplot involving Gwennie’s spoiled and selfish cousin Helen. She too falls in love at first sight, but with less success. What distinguishes the book, however, is the characterization, which is marked by the deft use of irony. Jane Austen would approve.
Strongly recommended.
I’m so, so pleased, and also incredibly honored and flattered that the reviewer said, “Jane Austen would approve.” Because . . .
. . . Jane Austen is such an inspiration to me! ♥
(In fact, you’ll find a reference to Persuasion in the story.)
