Dear Reader,

Phew! Another launch under the belt. I'm so immensely grateful to everyone who made it to my informal Zoom launch, to those who came in person to celebrate the launch of the final book in my first Regency romance series, and to the bloggers and readers who have embraced the story so warmly.

I can't honestly say what my favorite comments have been, but I have to share a rhyming review from Splashes Into Books—one of the bloggers on my tour! I can't believe she goes to this trouble. It's a lot of fun for me and I hope for her.

Note: Please do not feel you have to do something clever like that if you are moved to write a review, LOL! A brief note of what resonated for you is fine. Plus, you can also just leave a star rating if you're at a loss for words. As I know you know, those Amazon reviews and ratings are vital for getting the all-powerful algorithm to serve up one's books to potential readers. Here's a direct link to leave yours for The Dowager's Grand Triumph.​

Now available: Double-Dilemma Romance Kindle Box Set

For anyone who likes to binge-read, I've created a Kindle Edition Box Set of the Double-Dilemma Romance Series! It includes all six books in order.

If you prefer hard copies, a physical box set is on its way. That takes a little longer to set up, however, and will—sadly—have a higher price tag. (The Kindle box set is just $8.99.)

Already read the entire series? Why not start another!

No, I don't have a new series out yet—I'm fast but not superhuman! (Although those who came to my Zoom event had a quick sneak peek at what's on the way in early 2027.)

What I'm talking about is a fabulous promotion for Historical Romance Series Starters! Take a look and see if anything appeals to you. There's quite a variety there.

In-person event for Western Mass locals

For those of you who live in the Pioneer Valley or near enough, I'm delighted to be participating in the second annual Books & Bottles book fair at Black Birch Vineyard on Thursday, July 9, 5–7 p.m. I'll have my books there to sell and sign, but more than that, I'll be in company with a fabulous group of authors from my old stomping ground.

I hope to see some familiar faces there!

That's all for now. If you're in the UK or Europe, please take care of yourselves in the intense heat. Hydrate, stay indoors, wear loose clothes. And we're set to have a taste of that unpleasant summer swelter here too, but air conditioning is much more common in the U.S.

Until next time, happy reading and writing!

Susanne
