A LONG FATAL LOVE CHASE & Lady Jane’s

A hasty, ill-advised marriage to a fiendish rake, a doomed devotion between a handsome young priest and the lovely, desperate girl he’s befriended… No, not Collen McCullough’s THE THORN BIRDS but A LONG FATAL LOVE CHASE by Louisa May Alcott. Written in 1866 a few years before Alcott’s revered classic, LITTLE WOMEN, A LONG FATAL [...]

Happy New Year, Happy New Beginnings

I’d like to start by sharing one of my favorite quotes by another romance writer you may have heard of, Mary Ann Evans. “You’re never too old to be who you might have been.” –George Elliot. You tell ‘em, Mary Ann. 2011 was, in many ways the year in which seeds were sewn for me. [...]

November Lady Jane’s Salon & Peru

Q: What do Lady Jane’s Salon and Peru have in common? A: Absolutely nothing…barring that this month I must give up one to gain the other. Yeppers, I am headed for Peru–the land of Machu Picchu, the Inca Trail and such–which means I will miss our monthly Lady Jane’s Salon on Monday, November 7th. Still, [...]

Super Special Lady Jane’s Salon 6/27 (aka Tonight!)

We’re dubbing tonight’s Lady Jane’s Salon as “Super Special” and those are not words that we at Lady Jane’s use lightly. This month we’re departing from our otherwise sacrosanct first Monday of the month time slot to welcome attendees of The Romance Writers of America (RWA) Conference to the Big Apple.

Back from Italy, April Contest Winner & Lady Jane’s

So I’m back from Italy–Venice, the Veneto (Venetian countryside, specifically the foothills below The Dolomites) and Florence. In the course of my two weeks away, I went on some incredible hikes, saw lovely Palladian architecture actually designed by Palladio, and ate and drank my way through many a long, lazy lunch and even longer, lazier [...]
