My UK readers now have another option for my e-books -- Wizard's Tower Bookstore. The owner has gone on vacation, but more books will be forthcoming once she gets back. Thanks to Chris Dolley at Book View Cafe for making this possible for BVC members!

I enter the Facebook age... Short and pithy (at least for a novelist...)

Fire Sanctuary
Poised between empires, the people of Nuala are survivors. They have fought the deadly radiation levels of their world, battling frightening mutations and genetic shift.
An Axis Empire soldier is about to marry a Nualan princess. But there are those who would kill to keep an Axis warrior from marrying a Nualan . . . and those who think it's the perfect smoke screen to keep anyone from noticing where the border is about to shift.
Nuala means survival. Survival against all odds, all enemies, all fortune. They're going to have to prove it.

I have no idea when the new blurbs go up at Amazon, but they're up at Wizard's Tower.

Fires of Nuala
On the planet Nuala, the scam that beguiling free-trader Silver has come to join has just been blown to the skies, along with the throne lines of three separate sovereign nations.
The last male heir of one throne line, Sheel Atare, is unprepared to rule, but he's quick to seize allies wherever he can -- like the beautiful and dangerous Silver.
Now Silver has to choose: stick to the scam, or get sucked into the struggle to save Nuala -- and Sheel Atare's life.

Ha! For once I am ahead of the game -- I've read this one, and I enjoyed it. This is "Georgette Heyer Lite" writing, a sweet Regency from early in the career of writer Madeleine Robins. You can enjoy her fine hand at characterization and word choice without the darkness of her great Regency Noir books about Sarah Tolerance, Agent of Inquiry.
Currently available only at Book View Cafe, My Dear Jenny tells about one of those sisters who slips through the cracks -- the ones without a decent dowry, whose parents decide up front that they will be the spinster aunt forever taking care of someone else's children. Our heroine doesn't even have her own sister looking out for her, a large hole in what her family situation might be. She is content living with an aunt and her brood, and has several good friends, one of whom married well and asks her to London to help support HER sister who is getting married in a whirl.
However, nothing ends up the way it starts out, from Jenny getting stuck for weeks behind a quarantine in an inn to her becoming an impromptu shepherdess for a naive young woman who nearly ran away with a fortune-hunting rake. Before it is over, her own unwieldy name has been shortened to "Jenny," she's been invited as a house guest among the rich and famous, and her backup in this adventure turns out to be a retired military nabob and his nephew.
Does Jenny get her own happily-ever-after? You'll have to read it to find out! At $3.99 it will be excellent beach reading! Here's a sample.
