Launch day is Wednesday October 1 for The Lady Flees Her Lord.

A new book on the shelves is wonderful and scary for an author, or at least it is for me, and I hope you will forgive this promotional piece for my new book.

I will be having a draw of a Jane Austen "approved" notebook for one commenter either here today or Thursday or on the Casablanca authors blog when I post there on Wednesday. Good luck.

The Lady Flees Her Lord, Sourcebooks Casablanca, October 1 2008

Running from a husband who abuses her because she unfashionably large has failed to produce an heir, Lucinda, Lady Denbigh, rescues a street urchin and poses as a widow with a small daughter.

Reclusive ex-soldier Lord Hugo Wanstead is back from the Peninsular Wars with a wound that won't heal and regrets that haunt his nights

When he encounters Lucinda, they both feel they've been offered a second chance, but when her husband discovers where she is, her life, her love, and her adopted child could all be destroyed ...

On Thursday I am going to post an excerpt never seen before. And next week, we will have fashion for October.

Until next time, Happy Rambles.
