Have an Illicit Indiscretion for Christmas!

My Christmas Undone cover and title are here! An Illicit Indiscretion will be available for Christmas, a great and inexpensive gift for your e-reader friends and for you! This is my Halley's Comet story, featuring Dashiell and Elisabeth on their quest for the 1835 Comet. This story was a blast to write. 1835 was really the year of the comet, people really did buy comet pins and Halley's Comet has a long history behind it with speculation that it was the Christmas Star although it seems unlikely. More to come in November. We'll have Comet trivia and a give away. Order at www.amazon.com or www.eharlequin.com

Day 4 of the Viscountdown!: The Bickford Fuse

On p. 185 in Chapter 14, Valerian and Phillippa and her brother, Beldon, have a dinner conversation about a man named Bickford who is patenting a new kind of fuse for blasting in the mines. Valerian and Beldon decide to ride over the next day and talk with him about his invention. The Bickford fuse was a big step forward for mining safety since it took away a significant amount of risk miners faced when lighting the traditional reed fuses. Bickford did exist, he did craft this fuse and did design his own production line for mass producing that fuse in the 1830s.
