Why?
First, we have surpassed 1 million views! That is pretty amazing for a lil ole blog devoted to the nineteenth century and books. Thank you all for your support!
Second, this month marks our 14th anniversary for blogging and the beginning of our 15th year. We didn’t know what to expect when we started, but we’ve had the privilege to guest host or interview wonderful authors like Julie Klassen, Nancy Sanders, Charlotte Henry and her alter ego Shelley Adina, YS Lee, and Patrice Kindl; try a book club and movie watch parties; and dig into everything from fashion to fitness in early Georgian into Victorian times. What a ride!
As we usually do at our blog birthday, we are asking for you input.
What do you want more of?
What else shall we try?
And I cannot wait for the publication in October of the finale of my American Wonders Collection, A View Most Glorious. To celebrate, my publisher has put the first two ebooks in the series on sale for September. A Distance Too Grand is only 99cents, and Nothing Short of Wondrous is only $1.99. Grab them while you can!
If you are eager for the third book, you can preorder now. Headstrong beauty Coraline Baxter must rely on rough mountain guide Nathan Hardee to help her reach the top of Mt. Rainier so she can bring attention to a woman’s right to vote and avoid marrying the man her mother has chosen for her. But her mountain man has hidden potential—and so, she discovers, does their future together.
Baker Book House (40% off preorder, 30% off release and free

Stay tuned for more tidbits about the mountain and the fun I had writing this book in coming
weeks.

Happy Birthday! I love learning the history behind the novels. Can you tell us more about Lydia's experiments both with in Never Vie For a Viscount and the early history of balloon flight? Any real life examples of ladies like Lydia? I'm blown away by how smart she is!
Excellent suggestions, QNPoohBear! As if happens, I'm working on a new steampunk series with Shelley Adina, so I'm building even more info on balloons at the moment, LOL! Look for more posts along that line as we go into the new year. So glad you're enjoying Lydia. She is one of my favorite heroines.
