How about serialized reads?
I've been giving some thought lately to serialized content and wanted to get the input from you, my darling readers...since it would be all for you anyway. =) To explain a bit what I'm thinking, when I say "serialized reads," I have in mind episodic fiction, based in my fictional world. Each...

In The Nature of a Lady, my heroine, Lady Elizabeth "Libby" Sinclair, is a naturalist. She not only loves nature--as in, being out in it and enjoying it--she loves studying nature. Her most prized possession is a microscope, and she spends much of her holiday on St. Mary's in the Isles of Scilly...

I first looked up Cornish words when I wrote A Name Unknown, set near Land's End in Cornwall. Well, I got to dust off that research again when I decided...
John Mucknell, Pirate Admiral
Once there lived, and once there was a man born and raised a Cockney who, like so many others, took to the sea. John Mucknell was in many ways what we think of as a stereotypical sailor—he drank too much, cursed too much, and when he was in his cups, he was mean. But he was a man who knew how to...
