Welcome to the summer blog hop!

Ready to hit the beach with some great reads? Answer this question about Innocent in the Prince's Bed to win books 1 and 2 in The Royals of Kuban series plus a read-it-before it's released copy of Awakened by the Prince's Passion (due out Aug. 1!).


What figure from Russian folklore does Illarion, the former Kubanian prince poet laureate, compare Dove to? Need a hint? She can't leave her father's forests and longs to be human. She is granted her wish for one day. She lingers with the other young maids in the spring/summertime of her mother only to leap over a bonfire and vanish into the clouds. There are many versions of her story and that is one of them.
 Winner drawn from all correct answers and winner will be posted June 27

The Snow Maiden. She is known as ‘Snegurochka’ in Russian - ‘sneg’ being the Russian word for snow.

Today's your chance to win a copy of  "A Sinful Regency Christmas," it's only available in British stores right now, so North Americans this is your chance to win something special! A signed copy that no one else can have unless they order it on Amazon.  To win, leave me an answer to this question: What are the names of the hero and heroine in my short story featured in the Sinful Regency Christmas anthology? For a hint, if you scroll through the blog (check the Dec. 2011 archive) and find the post regarding the story "An Illicit Indiscretion" you'll have the answer. There's probably other ways to find it too.... Looking forward to picking a winner! Bronwyn

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. If you're interested in reading about this piece of Cornish mining history, try this link: http://www.cornwall-calling.co.uk/famous-cornish-people/bickford.htm
