Marry in Scarlet! An Interview with Anne Gracie
Interviewed by Mary Jo Marry in Scarlet, the long awaited final book in Anne Gracie's Marriage of Convenience Series, has arrived, and it's great. As Publishers Weekly says in its review, "George is an admirable heroine and the chemistry between her and Hart is magnetic." Lady Georgiana, the w...
Karin, Those things are really high on my list, too. Especially the museums. I really miss the Met!

Andrea here . . . meditating on summer and what it means to me. In the United States, today marks the unofficial start of the summer season. With COVID -19, we don’t really know what the next few months will bring—though it’s pretty certain that Summer 2020 will very different from those in re...
Constance, I'm so, so sorry to hear about the loss of your brother-in-law. Hugs to you and all your family.
I hope that sometime this summer you will be able to gather family on your patio and celebrate his memory and the bonds that bonds that tie you all together. I think all of us have come to cherish our loved ones even more in these fraught times.
Gardens walks are so calming and inspiring. I take great solace in the beauty of Nature, too.
And lastly, thanks so much for the kind words about our books. It means so much to hear that what we do brings some light to a reader's world!

Sending virtual hugs, Annette. I think we all are aware of how many little freedoms we've taken for granted.Let us hope we will all be able to return to those wonderful things in the not too distant future.

Margot, you have a very wise and patient attitude about the situation. But that doesn't lessen the emotional reaction. I'm so sorry about the family gathering being cancelled. Looking forward to meaningful events is important emotionally—as are the physical connections with family and friends. Perhaps as thing improve, you'll be able to reschedule.
And hope thing mprove enough that you can gather outdoors safely with your freinds.

Lil, that SO true. Summer is such a special time for kids to explore and feel free. They've had a really tough time through all of this, with everything in their world disrupted. But resilience is a hallmark of youth, so hopefully they will recover from the stresses quickly.

Thanks, Maryellen! I'm so glad your son will be able to attend camp. And as a resident of Connecticut, I can report that the news is more and more positive in the state, and things are reopening. So I hope you will soon be able to visit your Mom.

Oh, Sue, you made me laugh about the dentist visit! We all know it's the right thing to do to stay at home as much as possible, but I confess to feeling a little stir-crazy. So yes, even the grocery store seems like a nice break. Sigh.
"Spontaneous"istruly what I miss! But as you so sagely point out—this, too, shall pass. I hope you can soon have a family gathering of all generations!

Thanks, Christina. Yes, the casual. convivial gatherings of friends over food and drink during the summer is such an integral part of the season's vibe. I really hope things were become safe enough to do that within sensible parameters.
Like you, I take joy in nature and the little details of summer coming to life. (BTW, I love your photos of your garden on Instagram. Such beautiful scenes!)

Thanks, so much, Kareni. Glad you enjoyed them. Things seem to be changing often, so by July, your picnic may well be doable, especially if it's just family. If everyone has been monitoring their health and interactions, and uses good sense, it's probably safe to gather. I hope so.
And yes, where was Spring!!! I was outside about 10 days ago and got caught in s snow flurry! Really!!
I think we all deserve some nice sunny weather, and a lessening of the virus so that some inyteraction with family and good friends is possible.

Yes, too far away is right! Sorry you've had your gran adventuring halted for now. Hopefully it will begin again in the not too distant future.
And yes, all the pics are ones I've taken. I look forward to snapping more fun ones not just within walking distance of home!

Gina, the grandkid hug must have been beyond special.
And your artist group painting together outside is wonderful! Adversity makes us all improvise, and good things come out of it. So many of us are connecting with friends more often, and that's really a good thing.

Compiled by Mary Jo This year, we're holding a ball! Each Wench will bring one of her favorite heroes. (Not the favorite, because how can one choose just one from among so many fabulous men? <G>) I'm wearing the burgundy velvet gown I was married in, but I'm not the star of this occasion! ...
Sounds like an enchanting evening, Elaine . . .but you had better bring him back to Nicola in the morning!

Conversation with a charming lady and just one dance? Wrexford couldn't be more pleased. While he's an excellent dancer, he much prefers cerebral waltzing. He's waiting for you to appear . . .
