These romances are open door.

Greycliff has black hair like his mother. I don't remember mentioning him starting to gray but if it works for you, go for it! I think he's twnety-nine or thirty in APE, I'd have to go check.

Thank you so much, Kathryn!! I do have some favorite historical romance authors who were huge inspirations. I only began reading romance, specifically historical romance about ten years ago, and my favorite authors were and still are Sherry Thomas, Loretta Chase, Beverly Jenkins, and Meredith Duran. However, my inspiration to sit down and write a romance was Julie Ann Long. I loved her voice so much and wanted to write just like her. Spoiler, I don't. I have my own voice, but she is forever my inspiration!

Nope, I'm American – but I write with a fake British accent! ;)

I don't know that I realize myself as a "writer" yet. I am certainly an author, I certainly enjoy the act of writing, but as to incorporating that description into my persona? That might take more time. Perhaps because I started later in life.

I frequently find myself blocked - probably because I am easily distracted. I write at my kitchen table, so when I am stuck, I amble on over to the refrigerator. There, I contemplate my excellent luck in having been born during the time of electricity and cheese sticks. A few snacks later, I go back to the table, feeling refreshed and wait for the muse to come calling. That process repeats itself many times during the day. I eat A LOT of cheese.

I am in the middle of finishing the first draft of Book Two in the series and have started an outline for Book Three. More science, more kissing, and quite possibly more hijinks. I am a big fan of hijinks.

The Secret Scientists of London series features a club within a club. To the outside world, Athena's Retreat is a social club, much like those the gentlemen of the time enjoyed. Behind closed doors, however, are secret laboratories and workrooms where the members conduct scientific experiments. The idea for a hidden club came about when I learned of the women's clubs established in the late Victorian/early Edwardian period. One such club was the Somerville Club, named for the pioneering scientific writer and mathematician, Mary Somerville. However, A Lady's Formula for Love is set in the first few years of Victoria's reign which saw a backlash against the excesses of the Regency, the social upheaval of the industrial revolution, and the beginning of the Evangelical movement.
