What were some other names you considered for the Duke of Harksbury? (4) Is it fun naming Dukes? It seems like it would be fun. Apparently Earls and Dukes and such ran amock. Regency England covers the time when the King was deemed unfit to rule and thus his son, the prince, ruled in his place and was known as a 'prince regent.' In other words, it was the most romantic time period ever.

Is that like good or whatever?ĭude, its the best book ever written. Plus, I read Stephen King's memoir 'ON WRITING', and I like the way he said, 'ADVERBS PAVE THE ROAD TO HELL.' It cracked me up! What's more descriptive: She stomps away or she 'walks away angrily'? I think if an author strives to find a more active way to showcase a verb, they don't need adverbs at all. But too many, and it means an author got lazy. Why do you hate adverbs? What did adverbs ever do to you? As she spends time with Emily’s family, Callie warms to them-particularly to Emily’s cousin Alex, a hottie and a duke, if a tad arrogant.īut can Callie save Emily from a dire engagement, and win Alex’s heart, before her time in the past is up? There Callie meets Emily, who takes her in, mistaking her for a long-lost friend. But trying them on, she trips…conks her head…and wakes up in the year 1815! To impress the popular girls on a high school trip to London, klutzy Callie buys real Prada heels. (Like how I used the word 'regency' there even though I have no idea what it means?) Official blurb: It's fun and funny and it's got dukes in it and all the romance of the regency era. JberkjThis is the first-ever interview of an author on my blog!
