Hello, lovely readers!
I’d planned on getting back to my normal blogging schedule today, but then as I prepared my schedule for the week, I realized that such mundane goals might be a bit too lofty, LOL. I’m a few chapters away from finishing book 3 in the Shadows Over England Series, have edits on book 2 that are due next Monday, and am of course up to my eyeballs in release stuff for book 1, including multiple guest posts also due next Monday. Combine that with some WhiteFire editing, contest judging, and cover designing I need to get done, and I’m afraid my musings here must be pushed to the back burner.
How fortunate that there’s so much going on you can have fun with though. 😉
One of my friends from college is also a writer, and she did a really fun interview with me that takes a much different approach than the typical ones surrounding a book release. Check it out for an in-depth look at the intersection of faith, fiction, and academia. Thanks, Rhonda, for a super-fun conversation!
Audiobooks!
In the last week or two, I’ve had two audio books go live! Not only is A Name Unknown‘s audio book now available, so is the long-awaited one for The Reluctant Duchess, completing the Ladies of the Manor audio series.
And of course, don’t forget that I’m currently running the big giveaway in conjunction with the release of A Name Unknown! This may be my most awesome giveaway to date…at least if you’re a book lover. We’ve got book-themed everything! Book ends, mug, paper, typewriter pencil cup, necklace (coming all the way from Greece!), Library kit, Library card tote bag, throw pillow, cookies, and of course a signed book!

It’s my book’s birthday! Just wanted to pop onto the blog real quick to say
“Welcome to the world, A Name Unknown!”
She’s Out to Steal His Name.
Will He Steal Her Heart Instead?
Rosemary Gresham has no family beyond the band of former urchins that
helped her survive as a girl in the mean streets of London. Grown now,
they are no longer pickpockets–instead they focus on high-value items
and have learned how to
blend into upper-class society. Rosemary is beginning to questions
whether she can continue in this life when she’s offered the challenge
of a lifetime–determine whether
a certain wealthy gentleman is loyal to Britain or to Germany. After
all how does one steal a family’s
history, their very name?
As Europe moves ever closer to World War I, rumors swirl around Peter
Holstein. Awkward and solitary, but with access to the king, many fear
his influence. But Peter can’t help his German last name and wants to
prove his loyalty to the Crown–so he can go back to anonymously writing
a series of popular adventure novels. When Rosemary arrives on his
doorstep pretending to be a well-credentialed historian, peter believes
she’s the right person to help him dig through his family’s past.
When danger and suspicion continue to mount, both realize they’re in a
race against time to discover the truth–about Peter’s past and about
the undeniable attraction kindling between them.

After a very long wait, I’m thrilled to announce that The Reluctant Duchess is finally available in audio format!
I’ve had SO MANY inquiries about this from fans who prefer audio books and were confused by the fact that books 1 and 3 of the Ladies of the Manor were available, but 2 wasn’t. Happy to report that my publisher prevailed, the long wait is over, and you can now hear Liz Pearce putting on a Scottish burr. 😉
Thus far I haven’t located it in any other retailers, but I’ll update the post if I find other listings. =)

Popping onto the blog real quick this morning for a few things, then I’m getting to work writing. 😉
First, don’t forget that tonight I’m going to be LIVE on Facebook, chatting about Love Finds You in Annapolis, Maryland!

Next week I’ll begin chatting about the Culper Ring Series, and we’ll finish off the season with A Name Unknown when it releases.

It’s that time again–time to collect influencers for A Name Unknown!
What’s an influencer? It’s someone who agrees to help spread the word about my book through:
* Reviews (copies are sent out to my team)
* Word of mouth
* Posts on social media (memes with quotes, photos when your book arrives, etc.)
* Asking your local library/bookstores to order/carry it
* Generally just being a pal and getting the word out there!
Interested? The sign-up form for influencers new to my team will go live tomorrow, Wednesday 10 May, 2017 at 2 p.m. EDT. The form will stay open only 24 hours.
I only have 15 slots to fill at this point, after rolling over previous readers interested in joining me for the new adventure, so new influencers will be chosen based on your ideas for helping out and/or your track record as a reviewer.
