The Scandalous Sirens Omnibus is one week away—but you don’t have to wait to start reading. Meet Elisa in Chapter One of Forbidden, the novel that began three Victorian romances and a much larger family saga.

A reunion Natasha has dreaded for three years turns out to be nothing like she expected. Perhaps because she’s changed. Or perhaps because there’s a certain Irish sea captain standing nearby…

It’s Talk Like a Pirate Day, which gives me the perfect excuse to confess: I’ve always wanted to write a pirate romance. Sexy, dangerous pirates, that is—not necessarily the “Arrr, matey!” variety. But first, I need recommendations. What are your favourite pirate romances?
Three Victorian women. Three very different love stories. But somewhere along the way, Elisa, Natasha and Annalies became something more: sisters. And the family they created would go on to become the foundation of the Scandalous Scions series.

After twelve novels and a novella, Camlann has finally arrived. I’m thrilled, a little astonished, and just a bit heartbroken to be saying goodbye to the world of Once and Future Hearts. Come celebrate the final chapter—and discover a behind-the-scenes secret about the author’s note that waited years to be written.

Gone With the Wind turns ninety tomorrow, yet it still feels astonishingly modern. I first encountered the novel—not the famous film—as a teenager borrowing it from my high school library, and it has stayed with me ever since. Looking back at it through the eyes of a novelist, I think I’ve finally figured out why Margaret Mitchell’s epic continues to captivate readers after all these decades.

Why do I prefer ancient history over medieval? Because when it comes to science, culture—and especially women’s rights—the ancients had it going on. Celtic women owned property, led armies (hi, Boudicca), and could even shame their husbands for underperforming in bed. Compare that to medieval Europe, where married women basically vanished from the legal record. This post dives into why I’ll always pick a toga over a tabard, and why history, like fiction, is better when women get to speak.

Why do I cling to historical romance? Maybe it’s the dresses—those gowns that could stop a man dead in his tracks. Maybe it’s the slow-burn tension of a hand brushing a sleeve. Or the sweeping backdrop of revolutions, arranged marriages, and the occasional ghost haunting the manor. Modern love stories don’t usually come with corsets, political chess games, or stolen glances across candlelit ballrooms. Historical romance gives us all that, and then some. Here’s why I’m not giving it up anytime soon.

One of my favourite parts of writing a thirteen-book series—especially this one—has been hearing what readers have carried with them, argued about, loved fiercely, or sent me passionate emails over. I’ve kept a little folder of reader notes and reviews that reminded me why I kept going, especially on the days Arthurian Britain refused to behave. As we head toward the Kickstarter launch and the final book, Camlann, I’d love to hear your favourite moments and memories from the journey.

After thirteen books, too many late nights, and a kingdom’s worth of research, the Once and Future Hearts series is finally drawing to a close — and we’re going out with a bang. For the first time ever, we’re releasing a 13-book hardcover collector’s set, exclusive to Kickstarter. If you’ve loved this saga — or are just discovering it — this is your chance to own the entire series in a beautiful, keepsake edition… and get the final book, Camlann, six months ahead of the public release.
