Happy Book Day!

A very happy book day to Samantha Grace, whose latest Regency romance, LADY AMELIA’S MESS AND A HALF, hits stores today.

JAKE BROKE HER HEART BY LEAVING HER AFTER SHARING A PASSIONATE KISS.

LADY AMELIA BROKE HIS BY MARRYING HIS BEST FRIEND.

When she returns to town a widow—pursued by an infamous rake, Jake’s debauched brother, and just maybe by Jake himself—Lady Amelia will have a mess and a half on her hands.

A sparkling romp through the ton, Lady Amelia’s Mess and a Half delivers a witty Regency romance in which misunderstandings abound, reputations are put on the line, and the only thing more exciting than a scandal is true love.

A big congratulations to Samantha!

Friday Links

Happy Friday, everyone! Despite technically being a short week, it took forever to get to the weekend. Not quite sure what’s up with that. However, I’m prepared with an assortment of links to distract you until that final gong signals you’re free to go play. Of course, if you work in publishing, land of Summer Fridays, that will be sooner rather than later.

Wishing you all an enjoyable weekend, filled with fun and sun, or at least some wonderful reading and writing. Enjoy!
