In which we pause to honor the chicken.

I know I've been out of pocket lately...and I'm so sorry! But as I'm down to the wire on Juliana's book, I think we can all agree that it's best that I be writing and not on the Internet. Mostly. :)

To keep you happy, my little moppets, I give you a collection of Bluth Family Chicken Impressions. xoxox

Two Months 'til Ten Ways!

I just now looked up at the calendar and discovered that in exactly two months, Ten Ways to Be Adored When Landing a Lord will be released! I can't believe how fast the time since Nine Rules... has gone!

I think, in honor of Ten Ways' -2 month book birthday, you should get a present.  How about a sneak peek? Would that suffice?

Ten Ways... begins with the following passage from a ladies' magazine:

It cannot be denied that there is a veritable epidemic spreading among the young ladies of London—a tragic reality that ends in nothing but the very worst possible scenario.

We refer, of course, to spinsterhood.

With so many unmarried ladies in our fair city so unfortunately shaded from the brilliant sunshine of wedded bliss, tis nothing short of criminal that these promising young buds might never have the opportunity to blossom!

And so, Dear Reader, it is in the interest of public service that we have compiled a list of time-tested solutions, oft-proven to simplify the most daunting of tasks—that of securing a husband.

We humbly present, Lessons in Landing a Lord.

- Pearls and Pelisses

June 1823

And poor, poor Nick...Guess who is named the first of the magazine's Lords to Land? You guessed it.  And because you guessed it, I give you the first line of Chapter One:

When the blonde by the door winked at him, it was the very last straw.  

Thanks for reading!  Can't wait to hear what you all think of Nick's story!

I'm hoping I've spent the last few days doing this.

AFK for One Week: Day One

I'm offline for a week, trying my hand at old school things like conversation and the outdoors.

I'm going to do some yoga and eat some barbecue and look at nature and write a book.

See you on the flip side!

I feel like Juliana would wear this.  Just to get someone's goat.
