Regency Censorship
Pat here, just back from South America and not quite ready to post on travels. So here’s a shorty, the promised blog on newspapers in the Regency. I’ve already told you how it took nearly half a week for news of Wellington’s victory at Waterloo to reach London. What startled me was learning th...
give me a month to organize and you shall see tortoises and boobies and lotsa rocks. ;)

thank you for the additional input! My poor American hero knows the consequences of delayed news in the War of 1812. ;)

thank you! The 3rd book should go up for pre-order any day now. These aren't easy to write!

I agree there is a lot of hysteria over school libraries, some justified, some not. But these days we don't have a warning about X or Facebook posts or IG posts sliding through our devices. And really, unless one Googles, it may be hard to tell what side our newspapers fall on since we now, theoretically, have objective journalism.

I think we can all agree on that. These things seem to come in cycles. Remember Bowdler cutting out all the "unseemly" parts of Shakespeare? That was in the Regency era--as it moved toward the uptight Victorian era.

Remembering Mitteleuropa
Mitteleuropa by Mary Jo I'm still locked in mortal combat with the current book, so I'm offering another classic travel blog: a riverboat cruise on the Danube. Rivers were the interstates of the past, and so much of European civilization developed along the waterways. How better to explore t...
Mary Jo is cruising the Hudson right now and one of the downsides of cruises is really bad WiFi. So the rest of the wenches are stepping in until she can.
The Danube cruise is like a step back into a fairy tale, although these days, the lower part tends to run dry, unfortunately.
One does have to plan two years ahead for those French cruises though!

ah, one of the hard parts of learning to write is that writing is easy, all the rest is tough! Keep us posted...
Hundred Days of Story Telling
Pat here, deep in writing mode and frantically trying to finish a draft before taking off for the jungles of South America. Finishing a book would be much simpler if I could just plan ahead—especially if I could plan six books ahead. But I can’t plot even one book in advance. And so here I am ...
It's hard to break the habit of reading the news, but there are days when it's equally hard to read it!

oh my on the 9/11. That brought tears to my eyes. Your experience makes the reaction very valid. Life goes on even if we think it's coming to an end, thank you.
I think I may be more concerned about reader reaction and the effect of celebration as an ending. But I may be overthinking it!

LOL on the cinnamon rolls! If you're free to do so, give us a link to your website or your books. These sound like books right up our alley!

oh wow, I can tell you're a writer! I'm glad I hit the right buttons for you. ;)

I'm glad you're enjoying them! I'm definitely not abandoning the series. I just need this particular story to gel a little more, and I think the hero is the problem. So... thinking.

Hugs and much sympathy on the weather! It's been the same here in what used to be sunny southern California. Foggy and cool the whole blamed summer. But we finally got a break and are seeing real August weather. Maybe you will too. SAD is terribly depressing. I've had one of those UV phototherapy lamps for years. You may need to look into them.
And thank you on the covers! I keep telling my designer she's a genius.

LOL, I do try. One never knows what will connect. But it's the truth!

ooo, a head start would be lovely! but I'm already cannibalizing bits and pieces, so I may have to knit it all together first!

I have a brother in Florida so I'm keeping an eye on your storm! At least you know how to handle it. Here in CA, they haven't a clue.
Welcome to the writing world! I just decided the time in the series timeline wasn't working with this particular story. And the hero just hadn't developed enough story to make him interesting. So he's sitting in the sidelines while I work around Waterloo. ;)
