I live in the beautiful Highlands of Scotland with my husband. I like chocolate, whisky, my Kindle, massed pipe bands, long leisurely lunches, chocolate, going places in my campervan, eating pizza in Italy, summer nights that never get dark, wood fires in winter, chocolate, the view from the study window looking out over the Moray Firth and the Black Isle to the mountains beyond. And chocolate. I dislike driving on motorways, cooking, shopping, hospitals.

The lovely lady in my avatar is Archduchess Clementina of Austria (1798-1881), Princess of Salerno, painted around 1839.

NOTE: I read Regency romances as well as write them, and I review them all on my website, or you can find them right here on Goodreads on my real-name account at Pauline ...more

Mary, that was honourable of you to owning and notifying us about the error in titling Nell in The Widow. Lots of respect to you for that. I consider mis-titling Nell very minor to some obvious unresearched mis-titling I've often seen. When it's throughout entire story, for all the titled characters, should a writer feel obligated to make any corrections and release another version of the book?

As to being obliged to make corrections, I will always try to fix errors in my own books, and I've already corrected The Widow, but it's not always easy to do. Being self-published, I can upload a new version of an ebook or paperback very easily, but many of my books now have an audio version, and making changes to those once they're live is not easy (or cheap!). For any author with a regular publisher, there's no way they will agree to changes, unfortunately. In those cases, all an author can do is to learn from their mistake, and try to get things right in future books.(less)

Review: Lord Clayborne’s Fancy by Laura Matthews (1980)

This is an odd sort of book. The reviews are mixed, to put it mildly, and I honestly thought I was going to hate it, and especially the nasty, suspicious, cheating husband, but I found it unexpectedly compelling. Strange.

Note: There’s not much of a graphic nature in the book, but the whole premise and the difficulties between hero and heroine centre on sexual matters, so if you prefer a more tradi

“You are a woman, swept by emotion, and therefore not rational.”

“It was hard to remember a time when he had not been helplessly in love with her, yet he had only known her a few short weeks. Such a brief time, yet now his life was incomplete without her.”
― Mary Kingswood, Lord Humphrey

“If you were married to a man nearer to your own age, a marriage of equals—” “There is no such thing!” she cried. “A woman is always less than a man in the eyes of the world, and nothing at all in the eyes of the law and the church. A wife does not exist in her own stead, she is the property of her husband, her only purpose to provide him with children, if she can, and to ensure his comfort. To be subsumed like that… it is horrible, Laurence.”
― Mary Kingswood, Stranger at the Dower House
